(a)
There shall be an allocation to the county for use by the county to provide appropriate rehabilitative housing and supervision services for the population specified in subdivision (b) of Section 1990. In making allocations, the county board of supervisors shall consider the plan required in Section 1995. Any entity receiving a direct allocation of funding from the county board of supervisors under this section for any secure residential placement for court-ordered detention will be subject to
and shall comply with existing law and regulations, including, but not limited to, Section 209. A county board of supervisors shall not allocate funding to any juvenile hall, camp, ranch, or secure youth treatment facility that is, or at any time during the prior fiscal year was, unsuitable and used for the confinement of youth on any day when the facility was prohibited by law from being used for the confinement of youth pursuant to Section 209. A county board of supervisors may withhold funding from any entity that is, or at any time during the prior fiscal year was, operating an unsuitable juvenile hall, camp, ranch, or secure youth treatment facility and is confining or did confine one or more youth in the unsuitable facility on any day when the facility was prohibited by law from being used for confinement of youth pursuant to Section 209. This section does not preclude a county board of supervisors from allocating funding to an entity if either the entity ceases confining youth in an
unsuitable facility, or the unsuitable facility, after reinspection, is found to have remedied the conditions that rendered the facility unsuitable and is found to be a suitable place for confinement of youth. With the exception of county probation departments, a local public agency that has primary responsibility for prosecuting or making arrests or detentions shall not provide rehabilitative and supervision services for the population specified in subdivision (b) of Section 1990 or receive funding pursuant to this section:
