	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1006, Jackson.   Courts:  Ventura County.
   Existing law authorizes a county to establish a courthouse
construction fund, as specified.
   This bill would authorize the County of Ventura to establish a
Juvenile Justice Facilities Construction Fund to improve county
juvenile justice facilities, as specified.
   The bill would also provide that deposits to the courthouse
construction fund established in Ventura County shall continue to and
including the 25th year after the initial year in which the
surcharge is collected or the 25th year after any borrowings are made
for any construction, as specified.
   The bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity for a special statute.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 76251 is added to the Government Code, to read:

   76251.  (a) To assist the County of Ventura in the improvement of
county juvenile justice facilities or county juvenile justice
rehabilitation facilities, the board of supervisors may by resolution
establish in the county treasury a Juvenile Justice Facilities
Construction Fund pursuant to Section 76105.  The moneys in the
Juvenile Justice Facilities Construction Fund shall be payable for
construction, reconstruction, expansion, improvement, operation, or
maintenance of county juvenile justice or county juvenile justice
rehabilitation facilities.
   (b) The money in the fund may be used to finance any public agency
funding mechanism which reduces an obligation incurred in reliance
upon the authority granted by this section, including, but not
limited to, retirement of bonded indebtedness, loan repayments, and
monthly payments involving lease-purchase programs.
   (c) Deposits into the fund shall continue to and including either
(1) the 20th year after the enactment of this section or (2) whatever
period of time is necessary to repay all borrowings or bonded
indebtedness incurred by the county to pay for construction provided
for in this section, whichever is longer.
  SEC. 2.  Section 76252 is added to the Government Code, to read:
   76252.  Deposits to the Courthouse Construction Fund established
in Ventura County pursuant to Section 76100 shall continue to and
including the 25th year after the initial year in which the surcharge
is collected or the 25th year after any borrowings are made for any
construction funded pursuant to that section, whichever comes later.

  SEC. 3.  The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute
is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable
within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California
Constitution, because of unique facts and circumstances applicable to
the County of Ventura, insofar as the county requires assistance in
expanding and improving its court facilities.
