Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the event that the superior court of a county having a population in excess of six million has discontinued, on or after December 1, 1991, a nightcourt policy or program with respect to criminal cases, the policy or program shall, upon approval of the board of supervisors, be substantially reinstated, with at least the average level of staffing and session scheduling which occurred during the period of six months immediately prior to December 1, 1991.

Section § 750
This law requires that if a county with more than six million people stopped having night court for criminal cases after December 1, 1991, the county must restart it. The night court should be reinstated with similar staffing and schedule levels as it had during the six months just before December 1, 1991. However, this restart needs approval from the county's board of supervisors.
