Cal. Penal Code § 4494 — Fiscal Provisions is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(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.
