29551
. (a) The board of supervisors or city council of any county,
city and county, or city that opts to receive funds pursuant to
Section 29552 shall establish a local detention facility revenue
account, on behalf of the sheriff or the official responsible for
local detention facilities in the county, city and county, or city,
into which shall be deposited funds paid by the Controller, pursuant
to Section 29552. The funds in the local detention facility revenue
account shall be used exclusively for the purpose of operation,
renovation, remodeling, or constructing local detention facilities
and related equipment.
(b) (1) If an appropriation for the purposes specified in Section 29552 is made in any fiscal year, a county, city and county, or city, may charge a jail access fee to a local agency that exceeds the agency's three-year average number of nonfelony bookings for crimes listed in paragraph (2) at a rate not to exceed the actual cost of booking an arrested person into the local detention facility, for each booking in excess of the three-year average. A local agency's three-year average number of nonfelony bookings for crimes listed in paragraph (2) shall be recalculated each year. The jail access fee shall be calculated and paid on a monthly basis, and all revenue derived from the jail access fee shall be deposited into the local detention facility revenue account created pursuant to subdivision (a).
