Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 1977 — Local Youthful Offender Rehabilitative Facility Construction Grants is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
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.
