(a) The board of supervisors of a county where, in the opinion of the sheriff or the director of the county department of corrections, adequate facilities are not available for prisoners who would otherwise be confined in its county adult detention facilities, may enter into an agreement with the board or boards of supervisors of one or more counties whose county adult detention facilities are adequate for and accessible to the first county to permit commitment of sentenced misdemeanants, persons sentenced pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170, and any persons required to serve a term of imprisonment in county adult detention facilities as a condition of probation, with the concurrence of that county’s sheriff or director of its county department of corrections. When the agreement is in effect, commitments may be made by the court.
(b) A county entering into an agreement with another county pursuant to subdivision (a) shall report annually to the Board of State and Community Corrections on the number of offenders who otherwise would be under that county’s jurisdiction but who are now being housed in another county’s facility pursuant to subdivision (a) and the reason for needing to house the offenders outside the county.
(c) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2018, and, as of January 1, 2019, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2019, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
