The time served while in custody of the authority shall be credited toward the term of any person resentenced pursuant to this section.

As used in this section, “time served while in custody of the authority” means the period of time during which the person was physically confined in a state institution by order of the Department of the Youth Authority or the Youth Authority Board.
