SECTION 607
Supplemental health services grants
Public Health (PBH) CHAPTER 45, ARTICLE 6, TITLE 1
§ 607. Supplemental health services grants. 1. There shall be
established within the special revenue fund-other a local public health
services program account. All revenues derived from fees collected by
the department pursuant to subdivision two of section six hundred six of
this article and all fines levied and collected by the department from
enforcement actions pursuant to the services provided under titles one
and two of this article, and monies received or recovered as a result of
any audit exception assessed against the state aid reimbursement to a
municipality under this article, shall be deposited in the local public
health services program account.

2. Notwithstanding the limitations of available state aid defined in
section six hundred sixteen of this article, monies available for
supplemental health services grants in the local health services program
account shall be used by the commissioner for the purpose of providing
supplemental health services grants to municipalities for the
enhancement of public health services, as an incentive for a
municipality not organized as a county health district or a part-county
health district to become organized or in recognition of municipalities
which have consistently maximized revenue collections. Criteria for
eligibility for grants under this section shall be established by the
commissioner. Monies received from such supplemental grants shall be
used to enhance or expand public health services and may not supplant
the amount that otherwise would be provided by the municipality or
appropriated to the department.
