42201
. (a) Of the total amount of fines and forfeitures received by
a county under Section 1463.001 of the Penal Code, fines and
forfeitures collected from any person charged with a misdemeanor
under this code following arrest by any officer employed by the state
or by the county shall be paid into the general fund of the county.
However, the board of supervisors of the county may, by resolution,
provide that a portion thereof be transferred into the road fund of
the county.
(b) The board of supervisors of a county may enter into a contract
with the Department of the California Highway Patrol for the purpose
of providing adequate protection for school pupils who are required
to cross heavily traveled streets, highways, and roadways in the
unincorporated areas of the county. When requested, the Department of
the California Highway Patrol may provide such service and the
county shall reimburse the state for salaries and wages of crossing
guards furnished by the Department of the California Highway Patrol
pursuant to such contract, including any necessary retirement and
general administrative costs and expenses in connection therewith,
and may pay the costs thereof from amounts deposited in the road fund
pursuant to this section.
(c) Fines and forfeitures received by a county under Section
1463.001 of the Penal Code may be used to pay the compensation of
school crossing guards and necessary equipment costs and
administrative costs.
(d) When requested by any county which had in effect on June 30,
1979, a contract with the Department of the California Highway
Patrol, to provide protection for school pupils at school crossings,
the department upon request of a county shall continue to administer
such school crossing program until June 30, 1980. The county shall
reimburse the Department of the California Highway Patrol for general
administrative costs and expenses in connection therewith, except
that, effective January 1, 1980, the crossing guards shall be
furnished to the California Highway Patrol and such crossing guards
shall be employees of the county, the county superintendent of
schools, the affected school districts, or both the superintendent
and the affected school districts, at the option of the board of
supervisors of the county. Any salaries and wages of crossing guards,
including necessary retirement and equipment costs and any
administrative costs shall be paid or reimbursed by the county from
amounts deposited in the road fund pursuant to this section.
(e) The board of supervisors may adopt standards for the provision
of school crossing guards. The board has final authority over the
total cost of the school crossing guard program of any agency to be
paid or reimbursed from amounts deposited in the road fund pursuant
to this section. The board of supervisors may specify that a
designated county officer, employee, or commissioner is to hire
school crossing guards, or, in the alternative, the board may specify
that any school district crossing guard program in unincorporated
areas shall be maintained by the school districts desiring the
program.
