The proceeds of bonds issued and sold pursuant to this chapter shall be deposited in the 1988 County Correctional Facility Capital Expenditure and Youth Facility Bond Fund, which is hereby created.

However, deferred maintenance for facilities shall only include items with a useful life of at least 10 years.
  (2) Moneys in the fund, up to a limit of sixty-five million dollars ($65,000,000), may be available for the construction, reconstruction, remodeling, and replacement of county juvenile facilities, and the performance of deferred maintenance on county juvenile facilities, but may only be used for the purpose of reducing overcrowding and eliminating health, fire, and life safety hazards.
  (3) Expenditure shall be made only if county matching funds of 25 percent are provided as determined by the Legislature, except that this requirement may be modified or waived by the Legislature where it determines that it is necessary to facilitate the expeditious and equitable construction of state and local correctional facilities.
  (b) Moneys in the fund, up to a limit of twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), may be available for the purpose of making awards to public or private nonprofit agencies or joint ventures, or a combination of those entities, for purpose of purchasing equipment and for acquiring, renovating, or constructing youth centers or youth shelters, as may be provided by statute. Fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) shall be available for youth centers and ten million dollars ($10,000,000) shall be available for youth shelters and shall be distributed by the Department of the Youth Authority.

  (a) Adopt a plan to prohibit the detention of all juveniles in county jails unless otherwise authorized by law.
