The Legislature hereby finds that wards are committed to the Department of the Youth Authority at rates and for seriousness of risks and needs which vary considerably from county to county. Current law requires the Department of the Youth Authority to accept a person committed to it if it believes that the person can be materially benefited by its reformatory and educational discipline, and if it has adequate facilities to provide that care. The Legislature also finds that, with an increasing youth population in California, some persons committed to the department may not be accepted because of insufficient facilities. Further, objective systems for classifying the risks posed by a minor and the needs of the minor for training and treatment can increase the equity in acceptance decisions and allocate custody and services to the minors throughout the state who can most materially benefit from a Youth Authority commitment.

(2) Possible sites may include: a licensed health facility, a licensed health clinic, an educational institution, or a probation office. The department may enter into an agreement with a licensed health facility to permit the health facility to use the medical device when it is not needed for tattoo removal pursuant to this section if the health facility provides tattoo removal services pursuant to this section free of charge. (3) The medical devices shall remain the property of the state. However, they shall be used in conjunction with the tattoo removal program pursuant to this section for the functional life of the medical devices. (b) Candidates for tattoo removal shall be screened by community groups working collaboratively with the operators of the sites of the tattoo removal devices.

(2) Possess an established record of providing community-based services for at least one year to the persons described in paragraph (1). (c) Community groups that participate in this program and the operators of the sites of the tattoo removal devices shall solicit the pro bono services of licensed health care providers to participate in the program in order to increase the number of individuals served. (d) It is the intent of the Legislature that at least 200 tattoo removals shall be performed at each tattoo removal site in its first year of operation. After two years of operation, community groups that participate in this program and the operators of each site shall report to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities on the number of tattoo removals performed by each device and the success of the program in assisting individuals to join the workforce. By March 1, 2000, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities shall report these findings to the Legislature. (e) It is the intent of the Legislature to expand these pilot programs as rapidly as possible to other areas of the state where there is gang violence and where there are active community-based gang violence prevention programs.

Sec. 107 et. seq.), and the federal regulations for its administration set forth in Part 395 (commencing with Section 395.1) of Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations, shall serve as minimum standards for the operation of the Business Enterprises Program for the Blind. (a) With respect to vending facilities on state property, priority shall be given to blind persons, including the assignment of vending machine income as provided in this article. As used in this article, “state property” means all real property, or part thereof, owned, leased, rented, or otherwise controlled or occupied by any department or other agency or body of this state. (b) With respect to vending on federal property within this state, priority shall be given as provided in the federal Randolph-Sheppard Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 107 et seq.), including the amendments thereto. This article, as it applies to federal property, is intended to conform to that act and is to be of no force or effect if, and to the extent that, any provision of this article or any regulation adopted under this article is in conflict with that act. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to impose limitations on the operation of vending facilities on state property, or property other than federal property, or to allow only those activities specifically enumerated in the Randolph-Sheppard Act. (c) On all other property within this state, whether owned or controlled privately or by any county, city, city and county, or other political subdivision, the department shall take all feasible steps to encourage and establish vending by blind persons licensed under this article. The department may enter into appropriate agreements with the entities or persons owning or controlling the other property. All these agreements shall be in writing and shall be in conformity with this article. (d) The director shall actively pursue all commissions from vending facilities not operated by blind vendors as provided for in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 19630, and shall seek new placements of vending facilities on state property where a facility is not yet in place.

Business Enterprises for the Blind [19625 - 19641] ( Article 5 repealed and added by Stats. 1977, Ch. 1131. ) ## 19627. (a) In order to implement the priority declared in subdivision (a) of Section 19625, the director shall, in consultation with the committee of licensed blind vendors, and after consultation with and agreement by the Director of General Services and other heads of departments or agencies in control of the maintenance, operation, and protection of state property, develop regulations designed to ensure the following: (1) That priority is given to blind persons licensed under this article, including the assignment of vending machine income as provided in this article. (2) That one or more vending facilities shall be established on all state property to the extent that any facility or facilities is feasible. Where a larger vending facility is not feasible, the director shall take steps to place vending machines whenever possible. In determining feasibility the director shall consider, but is not limited to consideration of, all of the following: (A) The number of state employees in the building or on the state property. (B) The size, in square feet, of the area leased, occupied, owned, or otherwise controlled by the state. (C) The length of time the property will be leased or occupied by the state. (D) Whether establishment of a vending facility would adversely affect the interests of the state. (E) The likelihood the vending facility will produce sufficient net income for a blind vendor as provided in Section 19631. (b) Any decision that the placement or operation of a vending facility is not feasible, or that placement or operation would adversely affect the interests of the state shall be in writing, and shall be made available to the committee of licensed blind vendors. (c) The Director of General Services is authorized to construct and install or permit the construction and installation of a vending facility on any property owned or occupied by the state. In the case of leased space, costs shall be shared by agencies occupying the space as determined by the Director of General Services. (d) The director is authorized, subject to regulations developed pursuant to subdivision (a) and the requirements of the federal Randolph-Sheppard Act, to select a location for a facility and the type of facility to be provided. (e) Immediately upon receipt of notification from any state department or agency, the Department of General Services, Office of Real Estate and Design Services shall provide written notice to the director of the plans of any state department or agency to occupy, acquire, renovate, or relocate a property. This notice shall permit the director to determine in accordance with regulations developed pursuant to subdivision (a) whether the property includes, or will include, a satisfactory site or sites for a vending facility. (f) After January 1, 1978, no department or agency of the state shall undertake to acquire by ownership, rent or lease, or to otherwise occupy, in whole or in part, any property unless, after consultation with the head of that department or agency, it is determined by the director in accordance with regulations developed pursuant to subdivision (a) either (1) that the property includes a satisfactory site or sites for the location and operation of a vending facility by a blind person; or (2) that, if a building is to be constructed, substantially altered or renovated, or, in the case of a building that is already occupied on that date by the department or agency, is to be substantially altered or renovated for use by the department or agency, the design for the construction, substantial alteration or renovation includes a satisfactory site or sites for the location and operation of a vending facility by a blind person. (g) The provisions of subdivision (f) shall not apply when the director, in consultation with the committee of blind vendors, determines that the number of people using the property is or will be insufficient to support a vending facility. (h) For the purpose of this section, the term “satisfactory site” means an area determined by the director to have sufficient space, electrical and plumbing outlets, and any other facilities as the director shall by regulation prescribe, for the location and operation of a vending facility by a blind person. (i) If the director determines that any agency or department of the state fails to comply with this section, the director shall establish a panel to arbitrate the dispute and the decision of the panel shall be final and binding on all parties. (j) The arbitration panel convened by the director shall be composed of three members, appointed as follows: (1) One individual by the director. (2) One individual by the agency or department having care, custody or control of the premises. (3) One individual who shall serve as chairman, jointly designated by the members appointed under paragraph (1) and paragraph (2). If either party fails to agree on an individual, the director shall designate a hearing officer from the Office of Administrative Hearings who shall preside. (k) This section shall not apply to existing employee-operated, nonprofit organizations operating vending facilities that include manual cafeteria operations on state property. This section shall not be construed to require that employee-operated, nonprofit organizations shall discontinue operating vending facilities that include manual cafeteria operations on state property as of January 1, 1978.

    The department must limit set-aside funds from vending-facility net proceeds to necessary amounts, not above 6% of gross sales, keep them in a single fund, and collect them only when monthly net proceeds are at least $1,000. Those funds may be used only for listed purposes, and a 10% service-charge deduction applies for wages paid to blind or disabled workers unless the vendor does not meet minimum wage requirements.

(2) The purchase of new equipment. (3) The construction of new vending facilities. (4) Funding the functions of the committee of blind vendors established by Section 19638. (5) Retirement or pension funds, health insurance contributions or premiums, life insurance contributions or premiums to the extent approved by the federal Rehabilitation Services Administration, and provision for paid sick leave or vacation time or business-related insurance, if it is so determined by a majority vote of blind vendors after the department provides to each vendor full information on all matters relevant to these purposes. The department shall seek the necessary approval for expenditures of set-aside funds for life insurance contributions or premiums. (b) No set-aside funds shall be collected where the monthly net proceeds are less than one thousand dollars ($1,000). This amount shall be annually adjusted by the department to reflect changes in the cost of living. The average of the separate indices of cost of living for Los Angeles and San Francisco, as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, shall be used as the basis for determining the change in the cost of living. (c) Set-aside funds collected from the operation of all vending facilities administered by the Business Enterprise Program shall be placed in a single fund. (d) As used in this section, “net proceeds” shall be the sum of the amount remaining from the sale of articles or services and the amount of any vending machine or other income accruing to blind vendors after the cost of sale and other expenses (excluding set-aside charges required to be paid by the blind vendors) have been deducted. (e) It is the intent of the Legislature that the expenditure of the service charges authorized by this section shall be supplemental to any current appropriations available for these purposes and shall not constitute an offset or diminution of any appropriations. (f) An amount equal to 10 percent of the wages paid by a vendor to any blind person, as defined in Section 19153, or to any disabled person, as defined in regulations issued by the department, shall be deducted from any service charge paid by the vendor, in order to encourage vendors to employ more blind and disabled workers and thereby set an example for industry and government. There shall be no deduction from any service charge paid by a vendor if the vendor does not pay wages at least equal to the minimum wages required of employers pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1171) of Part 4 of Division 2 of the Labor Code.

(a) After July 1, 1978, all vending machine income from vending machines on state property shall accrue to (1) the blind vendor operating a vending facility on the property, or (2) in the event there is no blind vendor operating a facility on the property, to the Department of Rehabilitation Vending Machine Trust Fund for only those uses designated in subdivision (d). (b) The department may, notwithstanding subdivision (d), distribute vending machine income accruing under paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) to a blind vendor of a facility not meeting the standard specified in Section 19631 on January 1, 1978, provided that the distribution was being made on January 1, 1977, and provided that the distribution shall not be in greater amount than was being made on January 1, 1977.

Any limitation on the placement or operation of a vending machine based on a finding by a state department or agency that the placement or operation would adversely affect the interests of the state shall be fully justified in writing to the director. The director shall determine whether the limitation is justified, and if dissatisfied with the justification, may submit the matter for arbitration to the panel established by Section 19627. (d) All vending machine income which accrues to the department shall be used to establish retirement or pension plans, to provide health and life insurance contributions, paid sick leave, vacation time, or professional services needed by the committee of licensed blind vendors, subject to a vote of blind vendors as provided under paragraph (6) of subdivision (a) of Section 19629. Use of funds for provision of life insurance shall also be subject to the approval of the federal Rehabilitation Services Administration as required under paragraph (6) of subdivision (a) of Section 19629. (e) “Vending machine income” means receipts, other than those of a blind vendor, from vending machine operations on state property, after cost of goods sold at competitive prices, including reasonable service and maintenance costs, where the machines are operated, serviced, or maintained by, or with the approval of, a department or other agency of the state, or commissions paid, other than to a blind vendor, by a commercial vending concern which operates, services, and maintains vending machines on state property. (f) Vending machine income from vending machines on property referred to in subdivision (c) of Section 19625 shall, pursuant to agreement as there provided, accrue to (1) the blind vendor operating a vending facility on that property, or (2) in the event there is no blind vendor operating a facility on the property, to the department for the uses designated in subdivision (d) of this section. (g) (1) The amount of vending machine income accruing from vending machines on state property which may be used to contract for professional services, as provided in subdivision (d), shall be determined upon a vote of approval of three-fourths of the committee of licensed blind vendors. Under no circumstances shall the amount approved for professional services exceed 10 percent of the annual gross vendor machine income, as determined by the previous year’s income. (2) The committee of licensed blind vendors may contract for the provision of professional services without the express approval of the Department of General Services. (h) Vending machine income accruing to the department from vending machines on federal property may be used for professional services pursuant to subdivisions (d) and (g) subject to the approval of the federal Rehabilitation Services Administration. If approved, the amount approved by the committee of licensed blind vendors in any fiscal year shall not exceed the annual gross income obtained from vending machines on state and federal property.

(a) The Blind Vendor Revolving Loan Fund is hereby created in the State Treasury, and, notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, is continuously appropriated without regard to fiscal years to the department for the purposes specified in this section. The fund shall be interest bearing. Commencing January 1, 2008, the fund is hereby renamed the BEP Vendor Loan Interest Rate Buy-Down Fund. (b) The fund shall consist of moneys appropriated to that fund by the Legislature, and notwithstanding Section 16305.7 of the Government Code, all interest, dividends, and pecuniary gains from investments or deposits of moneys in the fund. (c) (1) Moneys in the fund shall be used by the department for the purpose of reducing the interest that vendors are required to pay for loans issued by an eligible lender to purchase inventory and equipment for vending facilities. (2) The department shall make funding contingent upon the vendor’s good standing in the Business Enterprises Program and a determination that the department has not paid interest on another loan obtained by the vendor. (3) Upon a determination that a vendor is eligible, the department shall pay, on behalf of the vendor, to an eligible lender, an amount not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) to reduce the fair market interest rate of a loan described in paragraph (1) by up to 3 percent. (4) If a vendor fails to repay a loan to an eligible lender, the lender shall reimburse the fund for the fund’s share of any interest not yet accrued as of the time of default by the vendor. (d) In determining eligibility for loan interest buy-down assistance from this fund, the department shall make any loan interest buy-down assistance contingent upon a determination that the blind vendor reasonably can be expected to repay the loan based on the vendor’s expected income and that the applicant is currently an active vendor and has been in the Business Enterprises Program for at least one year. (e) For purposes of this section, “eligible lender” means a financial institution organized, chartered, or holding a license or authorization certificate under a law of this state or in the United States to make loans or extend credit and subject to supervision by an official or agency of this state or the United States. (f) Loan interest buy-down assistance pursuant to this section shall be made without regard to race, religion, creed, or sex. (g) The total amount of interest buy-down assistance that may be provided under this section is limited to the amount contained in the fund, and the state shall not be liable beyond the amount contained in that fund for these debts, obligations, and liabilities. (h) In the event that the total amount of loan interest buy-down assistance applied for under this section exceeds the total amount of assistance that may be provided pursuant to this section, the department may establish a system of priorities for the approval of applications.

Good cause shall be determined only after the person, governing board, or legislative body having control of the vending facility has notified the department in writing of the grounds for removal and has supplied any supporting material. All of the following shall apply to any disapproval or withdrawal of approval: (1) Upon receipt of a written notification, the department shall issue a letter of reprimand to the vendor which shall include a copy of the original notification and any supporting material. The letter of reprimand shall also state the date of removal and the vendor’s right to appeal the decision of the director to remove, suspend, or terminate the vendor from participation in the Business Enterprises Program. The letter of reprimand shall be sent by certified mail with a receipt confirmation required. (2) Upon receipt of the letter of reprimand, the vendor shall have 15 regular working days to remedy the reasons for the complaint stated in the written notification.

In support of state funding authorized by this article, the Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Population levels in local juvenile offender facilities across the state have dramatically increased. (b) Although capacity in local juvenile offender rehabilitation and incarceration facilities has been added during the last decade, those facilities still face capacity problems, and aging facilities need to be repaired or replaced. (c) Insufficient capacity at local juvenile offender rehabilitation and incarceration facilities may create risks to the public safety as well as a loss to the state of potentially productive members of society. (d) By expanding local juvenile offender rehabilitation and incarceration facilities, this funding will serve a critical state purpose, which purpose represents valuable consideration in exchange for this state action.

In the event that a county that has been conditionally awarded financing, pursuant to this article, later determines that participating with other counties in a shared regional facility would provide an improved solution to the county’s needs and the needs of other counties, the original county may apply to the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) for redirection of the conditional award to another county that will be the lead county for the regional facility, in conjunction with the original county and, potentially, other counties. If the BSCC determines, based on findings submitted by the regional consortium of counties, that the redirection will result in cost savings, regional efficiencies, increased services, and improved outcomes, and that the design of the joint facility will enhance program delivery, health and mental health services, and the safety and security of minors, the BSCC may authorize the redirection of the conditional award. Redirection may only be considered prior to any approval or establishment of the project by the board. (Added by Stats. 2013, Ch. 627, Sec. 3. (SB 365) Effective January 1, 2014.)

(a) An independent living center shall not be required to provide any matching funds through private contributions as a condition of receiving state funds except to acquire state incentive funds. (b) Each independent living center, except those centers which have been both established and maintained using federal funding under Title VII(c) of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended as their primary base grant, as determined by the department, shall receive to the extent funds are appropriated by the Legislature, at least two hundred thirty-five thousand dollars ($235,000) in base grant funds allocated by the department. The department shall allocate to those centers with Title VII(c) base grant funds of less than two hundred thirty-five thousand dollars ($235,000) an amount that, when combined with the Title VII(c) grant, equals two hundred thirty-five thousand dollars ($235,000). (c) State funds described in subdivision (b) may be replaced by reimbursements under the Supplemental Security Disability Insurance and the Supplemental Security Income programs provided for under Titles II and XVII of the Federal Social Security Act, Subchapter II (commencing with Section 401) and Subchapter XVII (commencing with Section 1381) of Chapter 7 of Title 42 of the United States Code to the extent appropriated by the Legislature and allocated by the department to independent living centers under this chapter. Beginning with the 1998–99 fiscal year, and each year thereafter, to the extent these funds from the Social Security Act are not appropriated by the Legislature as were appropriated in the 1997–98 fiscal year, an amount equal to the combined state and federal fund allocation to independent living centers in the Budget Act of 1997 shall be appropriated to, and allocated by, the department to independent living centers under this chapter. (d) (1) Available state incentive funds shall be allocated at the beginning of each fiscal year based upon the average amount of private contributions received by the independent living center in the second and third preceding fiscal years. (2) The maximum amount of incentive funds that may be allocated to any independent living center in any single fiscal year shall be computed as follows: (A) “Pool One” is defined as 60 percent of all state incentive funds. “Pool Two” is defined as 40 percent of all state incentive funds. Each independent living center shall be entitled to an equal portion of Pool One, not to exceed the amounts raised pursuant to paragraph (1). (B) Incentive funds from Pool One not used after the initial allocation pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall be added to Pool Two for allocation among all centers that had unmatched private contributions after distribution of Pool One funds. Pool Two funds shall be awarded in direct proportion to each center’s percentage of the total remaining unmatched private contributions raised by those independent living centers. (3) For the purpose of determining eligibility for state incentive funds, any independent living center that uses a fiscal year other than the state fiscal year may elect to use a different fiscal year so long as the closing date of the fiscal year so elected does not precede the closing date of the equivalent state fiscal year by more than 11 months. (4) The amount of private contributions claimed by an independent living center for each fiscal year shall be verified by the department by utilizing appropriate financial records including, but not limited to, independent audits. Audits may be performed by the department up to three years from the close of the fiscal year during which state incentive funds were received by the independent living center being audited. (5) State incentive funds that are not distributed to independent living centers shall not be allocated or retained by the department for distribution as state incentive funds in later fiscal years. (e) For purposes of this section: (1) “Private funds” does not include any funds originating from any entity of the federal, state, city, or county government or any political subdivision thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, fees from any source for services provided may be included as private contributions by an independent living center for purposes of determining its allocation of incentive funds. (2) “State incentive funds” means state funds appropriated by the Legislature for purposes of this chapter, except those funds allocated by the department pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (g) of this section. (f) Any funds allocated under this chapter to any independent living center, other than as part of the initial allocation for each fiscal year, shall be made by contract amendment. Any contract amendment shall require the provision of services in addition to those required by the contract being amended. All those services required by contract amendment shall not be performed prior to the date the contract amendment is approved by the state. (g) To the extent funds are appropriated by the Legislature for the purpose of providing assistive technology services described in subdivision (d) of Section 19801, two hundred ten thousand dollars ($210,000) of those funds shall be allocated to the nonprofit contractor selected by the Department of Rehabilitation to coordinate delivery of assistive technology services and the remainder shall be allocated equally among independent living centers. The nonprofit contractor shall provide statewide assistive technology information and referral and serve as a resource to the independent living centers’ assistive technology service programs. (h) To the extent funds are appropriated by the Legislature, after allocation of base grant and incentive funds and assistive technology funds, remaining funds shall be allocated by the department among independent living centers on the basis of the ratio of the total of the general population in an independent living center’s geographic service areas as compared to the total of the general population in all independent living centers geographic services area statewide. The department shall adopt regulations for the distribution of population funds by June 30, 1999. (Amended by Stats. 2004, Ch. 229, Sec. 61. Effective August 16, 2004.)

Juvenile Court Law [200 - 987] ( Chapter 2 repealed and added by Stats. 1961, Ch. 1616. ) ## ARTICLE 1. General Provisions [200 - 224.7] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1068. ) ## 202. (a) The purpose of this chapter is to provide for the protection and safety of the public and each minor under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court and to preserve and strengthen the minor’s family ties whenever possible, removing the minor from the custody of his or her parents only when necessary for his or her welfare or for the safety and protection of the public. If removal of a minor is determined by the juvenile court to be necessary, reunification of the minor with his or her family shall be a primary objective. If the minor is removed from his or her own family, it is the purpose of this chapter to secure for the minor custody, care, and discipline as nearly as possible equivalent to that which should have been given by his or her parents. This chapter shall be liberally construed to carry out these purposes. (b) Minors under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court who are in need of protective services shall receive care, treatment, and guidance consistent with their best interest and the best interest of the public. Minors under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court as a consequence of delinquent conduct shall, in conformity with the interests of public safety and protection, receive care, treatment, and guidance that is consistent with their best interest, that holds them accountable for their behavior, and that is appropriate for their circumstances. This guidance may include punishment that is consistent with the rehabilitative objectives of this chapter. If a minor has been removed from the custody of his or her parents, family preservation and family reunification are appropriate goals for the juvenile court to consider when determining the disposition of a minor under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court as a consequence of delinquent conduct when those goals are consistent with his or her best interests and the best interests of the public. When the minor is no longer a ward of the juvenile court, the guidance he or she received should enable him or her to be a law-abiding and productive member of his or her family and the community. (c) It is also the purpose of this chapter to reaffirm that the duty of a parent to support and maintain a minor child continues, subject to the financial ability of the parent to pay, during any period in which the minor may be declared a ward of the court and removed from the custody of the parent. (d) Juvenile courts and other public agencies charged with enforcing, interpreting, and administering the juvenile court law shall consider the safety and protection of the public, the importance of redressing injuries to victims, and the best interests of the minor in all deliberations pursuant to this chapter. Participants in the juvenile justice system shall hold themselves accountable for its results. They shall act in conformity with a comprehensive set of objectives established to improve system performance in a vigorous and ongoing manner. In working to improve system performance, the presiding judge of the juvenile court and other juvenile court judges designated by the presiding judge of the juvenile court shall take into consideration the recommendations contained in subdivision (e) of Standard 5.40 of Title 5 of the California Standards of Judicial Administration, contained in the California Rules of Court. (e) As used in this chapter, “punishment” means the imposition of sanctions. It does not include retribution and shall not include a court order to place a child in foster care as defined by Section 727.3. Permissible sanctions may include any of the following: (1) Payment of a fine by the minor. (2) Rendering of compulsory service without compensation performed for the benefit of the community by the minor. (3) Limitations on the minor’s liberty imposed as a condition of probation or parole. (4) Commitment of the minor to a local detention or treatment facility, such as a juvenile hall, camp, or ranch. (5) Commitment of the minor to the Division of Juvenile Facilities, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. (f) In addition to the actions authorized by subdivision (e), the juvenile court may, as appropriate, direct the offender to complete a victim impact class, participate in victim offender conferencing subject to the victim’s consent, pay restitution to the victim or victims, and make a contribution to the victim restitution fund after all victim restitution orders and fines have been satisfied, in order to hold the offender accountable or restore the victim or community.

Persons taken into custody and persons alleged to be within the description of Section 300, or persons adjudged to be such and made dependent children of the court pursuant to this chapter solely upon that ground, shall be provided by the board of supervisors with separate facilities segregated from persons either alleged or adjudged to come within the description of Section 601 or 602 except as provided in Section 16514. Separate segregated facilities may be provided in the juvenile hall or elsewhere. The facilities required by this section shall, with regard to minors alleged or adjudged to come within Section 300, be nonsecure. For the purposes of this section, the term “secure facility” means a facility which is designed and operated so as to insure that all entrances to, and exits from, the facility are under the exclusive control of the staff of the facility, whether or not the person being detained has freedom of movement within the perimeters of the facility, or which relies on locked rooms and buildings, fences, or physical restraints in order to control behavior of its residents. The term “nonsecure facility” means a facility that is not characterized by the use of physically restricting construction, hardware, and procedures and which provides its residents access to the surrounding community with minimal supervision. A facility shall not be deemed secure due solely to any of the following conditions: (1) the existence within the facility of a small room for the protection of individual residents from themselves or others; (2) the adoption of regulations establishing reasonable hours for residents to come and go from the facility based upon a sensible and fair balance between allowing residents free access to the community and providing the staff with sufficient authority to maintain order, limit unreasonable actions by residents, and to ensure that minors placed in their care do not come and go at all hours of the day and night or absent themselves at will for days at a time; and (3) staff control over ingress and egress no greater than that exercised by a prudent parent. The State Department of Social Services may adopt regulations governing the use of small rooms pursuant to this section. No minor described in this section may be held in temporary custody in any building that contains a jail or lockup for the confinement of adults, unless, while in the building, the minor is under continuous supervision and is not permitted to come into or remain in contact with adults in custody in the building. In addition, no minor who is alleged to be within the description of Section 300 may be held in temporary custody in a building that contains a jail or lockup for the confinement of adults, unless the minor is under the direct and continuous supervision of a peace officer or other child protective agency worker, as specified in Section 11165.9 of the Penal Code, until temporary custody and detention of the minor is assumed pursuant to Section 309. However, if a child protective agency worker is not available to supervise the minor as certified by the law enforcement agency which has custody of the minor, a trained volunteer may be directed to supervise the minor. The volunteer shall be trained and function under the auspices of the agency which utilizes the volunteer. The minor may not remain under the supervision of the volunteer for more than three hours. A county which elects to utilize trained volunteers for the temporary supervision of minors shall adopt guidelines for the training of the volunteers which guidelines shall be approved by the State Department of Social Services. Each county which elects to utilize trained volunteers for the temporary supervision of minors shall report annually to the department on the number of volunteers utilized, the number of minors under their supervision, and the circumstances under which volunteers were utilized. No record of the detention of such a person shall be made or kept by any law enforcement agency or the Department of Justice as a record of arrest. (Amended by Stats. 1989, Ch. 913, Sec. 2.)

(a) A minor shall not be detained in any jail, lockup, juvenile hall, or other secure facility if the minor is taken into custody solely upon the ground that the minor is a person described by Section 213.3, or described by Section 601 or adjudged to be such or made a ward of the juvenile court solely upon that ground, except as provided in subdivision (b). If any such minor, other than a minor described in subdivision (b), is detained, the minor shall be detained in a sheltered-care facility or crisis resolution home as provided for in Section 654, or in a nonsecure facility provided for in subdivision (a), (b), (c), or (d) of Section 727. (b) A minor taken into custody upon the ground that the minor is a person described in Section 601, or adjudged to be a ward of the juvenile court solely upon that ground, may be held in a secure facility, other than a facility in which adults are held in secure custody, in any of the following circumstances: (1) For up to 12 hours after having been taken into custody for the purpose of determining if there are any outstanding wants, warrants, or holds against the minor in cases where the arresting officer or probation officer has cause to believe that the wants, warrants, or holds exist. (2) For up to 24 hours after having been taken into custody, in order to locate the minor’s parent or guardian as soon as possible and to arrange the return of the minor to the minor’s parent or guardian, with the exception of an out-of-state runaway who is being held pursuant to the Interstate Compact for Juveniles. (c) Any minor detained in juvenile hall pursuant to subdivision (b) shall not be permitted to come or remain in contact with any person detained on the basis that the minor has been taken into custody upon the ground that the minor is a person described in Section 602 or adjudged to be such or made a ward of the juvenile court upon that ground. (d) Minors detained in juvenile hall pursuant to Sections 601 and 602 may be held in the same facility provided they are not permitted to come or remain in contact within that facility. (e) Every county shall keep a record of each minor detained under subdivision (b), the place and length of time of the detention, and the reasons why the detention was necessary. Every county shall report this information to the Board of State and Community Corrections on a monthly basis, on forms to be provided by that agency. The board shall not disclose the name of the detainee, or any personally identifying information contained in reports sent to the Division of Juvenile Justice under this subdivision.

Juvenile Court Law [200 - 987] ( Chapter 2 repealed and added by Stats. 1961, Ch. 1616. ) ## ARTICLE 1. General Provisions [200 - 224.7] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1068. ) ## 207.1. (a) A court, judge, referee, peace officer, or employee of a detention facility shall not knowingly detain any minor in a jail or lockup, unless otherwise permitted by any other law. (b) (1) A minor 14 years of age or older who is taken into temporary custody by a peace officer on the basis of being a person described by Section 602, and who, in the reasonable belief of the peace officer, presents a serious security risk of harm to self or others, may be securely detained in a law enforcement facility that contains a lockup for adults, if all of the following conditions are met: (A) The minor is held in temporary custody for the purpose of investigating the case, facilitating release of the minor to a parent or guardian, or arranging transfer of the minor to an appropriate juvenile facility. (B) The minor is detained in the law enforcement facility for a period that does not exceed six hours except as provided in subdivision (d). (C) The minor is informed at the time the minor is securely detained of the purpose of the secure detention, of the length of time the secure detention is expected to last, and of the maximum six-hour period the secure detention is authorized to last. In the event an extension is granted pursuant to subdivision (d), the minor shall be informed of the length of time the extension is expected to last. (D) Contact between the minor and adults confined in the facility is restricted in accordance with Section 208. (E) The minor is adequately supervised. (F) A log or other written record is maintained by the law enforcement agency showing the offense that is the basis for the secure detention of the minor in the facility, the reasons and circumstances forming the basis for the decision to place the minor in secure detention, and the length of time the minor was securely detained. (2) Any other minor, other than a minor to which paragraph (1) applies, who is taken into temporary custody by a peace officer on the basis that the minor is a person described by Section 602 may be taken to a law enforcement facility that contains a lockup for adults and may be held in temporary custody in the facility for the purposes of investigating the case, facilitating the release of the minor to a parent or guardian, or arranging for the transfer of the minor to an appropriate juvenile facility. While in the law enforcement facility, the minor may not be securely detained and shall be supervised in a manner so as to ensure that there will be no contact with adults in custody in the facility. If the minor is held in temporary, nonsecure custody within the facility, the peace officer shall exercise one of the dispositional options authorized by Sections 626 and 626.5 without unnecessary delay and, in every case, within six hours. (3) “Law enforcement facility,” as used in this subdivision, includes a police station or a sheriff’s station, but does not include a jail, as defined in subdivision (g). (c) The Board of State and Community Corrections shall assist law enforcement agencies, probation departments, and courts with the implementation of this section by doing all of the following: (1) The board shall advise each law enforcement agency, probation department, and court affected by this section as to its existence and effect. (2) The board shall make available and, upon request, shall provide, technical assistance to each governmental agency that reported the confinement of a minor in a jail or lockup in calendar year 1984 or 1985. The purpose of this technical assistance is to develop alternatives to the use of jails or lockups for the confinement of minors. These alternatives may include secure or nonsecure facilities located apart from an existing jail or lockup, improved transportation or access to juvenile halls or other juvenile facilities, and other programmatic alternatives recommended by the board. The technical assistance shall take any form the board deems appropriate for effective compliance with this section. (d) (1) (A) Under the limited conditions of inclement weather, acts of God, or natural disasters that result in the temporary unavailability of transportation, an extension of the six-hour maximum period of detention set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) may be granted to a county by the Board of Corrections. The extension may be granted only by the board, on an individual, case-by-case basis. If the extension is granted, the detention of minors under those conditions shall not exceed the duration of the special conditions, plus a period reasonably necessary to accomplish transportation of the minor to a suitable juvenile facility, not to exceed six hours after the restoration of available transportation. (B) A county that receives an extension under this paragraph shall comply with the requirements set forth in subdivision (b). The county also shall provide a written report to the board that specifies when the inclement weather, act of God, or natural disaster ceased to exist, when transportation availability was restored, and when the minor was delivered to a suitable juvenile facility. If the minor was detained in excess of 24 hours, the board shall verify the information contained in the report. (2) Under the limited condition of temporary unavailability of transportation, an extension of the six-hour maximum period of detention set forth in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) may be granted by the board to an offshore law enforcement facility. The extension may be granted only by the board, on an individual, case-by-case basis. If the extension is granted, the detention of minors under those conditions shall extend only until the next available mode of transportation can be arranged. An offshore law enforcement facility that receives an extension under this paragraph shall comply with the requirements set forth in subdivision (b). The facility also shall provide a written report to the board that specifies when the next mode of transportation became available, and when the minor was delivered to a suitable juvenile facility. If the minor was detained in excess of 24 hours, the board shall verify the information contained in the report. (3) At least annually, the board shall review and report on extensions sought and granted under this subdivision. If, upon that review, the board determines that a county has sought one or more extensions resulting in the excessive confinement of minors in adult facilities, or that a county is engaged in a pattern and practice of seeking extensions, it shall require the county to submit a detailed explanation of the reasons for the extensions sought and an assessment of the need for a conveniently located and suitable juvenile facility. Upon receiving this information, the board shall make available, and the county shall accept, technical assistance for the purpose of developing suitable alternatives to the confinement of minors in adult lockups. (e) Any county that did not have a juvenile hall on January 1, 1987, may establish a special purpose juvenile hall, as defined by the Board of Corrections, for the detention of minors for a period not to exceed 96 hours. Any county that had a juvenile hall on January 1, 1987, also may establish, in addition to the juvenile hall, a special purpose juvenile hall. The board shall prescribe minimum standards for that type of facility. (f) No part of a building or a building complex that contains a jail may be converted or utilized as a secure juvenile facility unless all of the following criteria are met: (1) The juvenile facility is physically, or architecturally, separate and apart from the jail or lockup such that there could be no contact between juveniles and incarcerated adults. (2) Sharing of nonresidential program areas only occurs where there are written policies and procedures that assure that there is time-phased use of those areas that prevents contact between juveniles and incarcerated adults. (3) The juvenile facility has a dedicated and separate staff from the jail or lockup, including management, security, and direct care staff. Staff who provide specialized services such as food, laundry, maintenance, engineering, or medical services, who are not normally in contact with detainees, or whose infrequent contacts occur under conditions of separation of juveniles and adults, may serve both populations. (4) The juvenile facility complies with all applicable state and local statutory, licensing, and regulatory requirements for juvenile facilities of its type. (g) (1) “Jail,” as used in this chapter, means a locked facility administered by a law enforcement or governmental agency, the purpose of which is to detain adults who have been charged with violations of criminal law and are pending trial, or to hold convicted adult criminal offenders sentenced for less than one year. (2) “Lockup,” as used in this chapter, means any locked room or secure enclosure under the control of a sheriff or other peace officer that is primarily for the temporary confinement of adults upon arrest. (3) “Offshore law enforcement facility,” as used in this section, means a sheriff’s station containing a lockup for adults that is located on an island located at least 22 miles from the California coastline. (h) This section shall not be deemed to prevent a peace officer or employee of an adult detention facility or jail from escorting a minor into the detention facility or jail for the purpose of administering an evaluation, test, or chemical test pursuant to Section 23157 of the Vehicle Code, if all of the following conditions are met: (1) The minor is taken into custody by a peace officer on the basis of being a person described by Section 602 and there is no equipment for the administration of the evaluation, test, or chemical test located at a juvenile facility within a reasonable distance of the point where the minor was taken into custody. (2) The minor is not locked in a cell or room within the adult detention facility or jail, is under the continuous, personal supervision of a peace officer or employee of the detention facility or jail, and is not permitted to come in contact or remain in contact with in-custody adults. (3) The evaluation, test, or chemical test administered pursuant to Section 23157 of the Vehicle Code is performed as expeditiously as possible, so that the minor is not delayed unnecessarily within the adult detention facility or jail. Upon completion of the evaluation, test, or chemical test, the minor shall be removed from the detention facility or jail as soon as reasonably possible. A minor shall not be held in custody in an adult detention facility or jail under the authority of this paragraph in excess of two hours. (Amended by Stats. 2024, Ch. 80, Sec. 125.
