Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
(a) It is the intent of the Legislature that wards of the Youth Authority be held accountable for intentional damage and destruction of public property committed while they are confined in Youth Authority facilities. To that end, and notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1752.8 and 1752.81, the Youth Authority may deduct from a ward’s trust fund any amounts that are necessary to pay for intentional damage to public property caused by the ward while confined within an institution or other facility of the Youth Authority.
(b) The Youth Authority shall utilize the procedures in its regulations for disciplinary actions to determine whether the damage or destruction was intentionally caused by the ward and, if so, to determine the amount to be deducted to pay for the damage or destruction.
(c) Funds that are deducted shall remain with the Youth Authority and shall be used to repair or replace the public property damaged or destroyed as provided for in the Budget Act for that fiscal year.
