Article 2 - Billing Procedures
Section 31420 - Calculation of Payments Due the Division

(a) The county from which a person subject to this chapter is committed shall pay the Division at the rate defined in Section 912 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. For billing purposes, the monthly rate will be converted to a daily rate by dividing the monthly rate by 30 and rounding to the nearest cent.

(b) This rate shall be applied to all individuals subject to this chapter who are confined in Division facilities as directed by the Division. Charges will not apply to youth who are missing or out to court.

(c) Youth with multiple commitments will be billed based upon the most recent juvenile court commitment.

(d) Youth with commitment from multiple counties will be billed based upon the most recent juvenile court commitment. The county responsible for the most recent juvenile court commitment will be billed, unless the most recent commitment is the result of prosecution requested by the Division. In that case, the county previously responsible for the youth will continue to be billed.

(e) The Division will bill each county monthly. Charges will be based upon the actual days of confinement of youth subject to this chapter. A full month will consist of 30 days for billing purposes.

(f) The county will be billed for the day the youth is received by the Division but not for the day the youth departs from the Division.

(g) The amount owed will be computed by multiplying the number of days of confinement by the daily rate.
