§ 101265 Local Health Department Funding

The basic and per capita allotments shall be paid quarterly to the administrative body of each qualifying local health department. Each quarterly payment may be adjusted on a basis of the actual expenditures during the previous quarter, if the adjustment is necessary to maintain the minimum proportional relationship of state and local expenditures as outlined in Section 101255. The department shall certify the amounts to be paid to each local health department each quarter to the Controller, who shall thereupon draw the necessary warrants, and the State Treasurer shall pay to the administrative body of each local health department the certified amount. Any payments may be withheld by the department if a local health department fails to continue to meet the minimum standards established, provided that not less than 45 days’ advance notice of intention to withhold payments, and the reasons therefor, shall be given to the governing body of the local health department. (Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 415, Sec. 3. Effective January 1, 1996.)
