Section 4494 Of Chapter 2. Fiscal Provisions From California Penal Code >> Title 4.7. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 2.
4494
. (a) It is the intent of the people in enacting this bond act
that jail authorization and construction proceed as quickly as
possible. Due to the severe shortage of jail facilities and the need
to begin construction of jail facilities as soon as possible, all
decisions of the board regarding construction, reconstruction,
remodeling, or replacement of jail facilities financed by this title
shall be final.
(b) No court shall have jurisdiction over these decisions of the
board absent a showing, beyond a reasonable doubt, of a gross abuse
of discretion by the board.
(c) Should an action be commenced alleging gross abuse of
discretion by the board, no court shall have jurisdiction to delay,
prohibit, or interfere with the construction, reconstruction,
remodeling, or replacement of the subject jail facilities. The sole
remedy available to the court is a mandate that steps be taken to
mitigate the abuse of discretion.
(d) Nothing in this title is intended in any way to delay,
prohibit, or interfere with the construction of jail facilities.
