Sections 4497.24 to 4497.30, inclusive, that are not used and funds
that were allocated under the provisions of the County Correctional
Facility Capital Expenditure Bond Act of 1986 that are not used shall

shall be that county's per capita share of the total funds available
for all counties with partially funded projects, or the amount needed
to complete funding of that county's approved projects, whichever is
less. At no time shall the allocation exceed 75 percent of the total
eligible costs.

(a) Counties with overcrowded juvenile facilities shall
not be eligible to receive funds to construct, reconstruct, remodel,
or replace juvenile facilities unless they have adopted a plan to

minimize the number of minors detained and shall be approved by the

awards to that county under this chapter shall be deemed void and any
moneys allocated or awarded to that county shall revert to the
Department of the Youth Authority for reallocation to another county
as provided by Section 4497.32. The department may waive this
requirement if it determines that there are unavoidable delays in
starting construction.

deemed void and any moneys allocated or awarded to that county shall

unavoidable delays in starting construction.
