services and other expenses paid and/or to be paid and the expenses
incurred and/or to be incurred in carrying out such a nursing home
operation.

2. (ii) The schedule of rates charged and/or to be charged for

The Board of Health is hereby authorized and directed to promul-

Such information shall be required annually for at least the term
of the Certificates of Indebtedness authorized under this Act.

Any changes in the rates for services rendered by such public or
non-profit nursing home must be approved by the Board of Health
before such rate changes shall become effective; provided that, such
changes shall be approved by the Board if they reasonably carry out
the intent of the Act. All such financial information shall be filed by
such public or non-profit nursing home with the Board of Health
prior to the issuance of any license to operate a nursing home for
the next ensuing year. All such information, except individual patient
records, shall be public information and available for inspection
during regular business hours at the offices of the Board of Health.

equipping of public and other non-profit nursing homes and for the
purpose of reports, plans, and specifications in connection therewith,
and for the purpose of site improvements, surveys and programs
in connection therewith, under said Subchapter IV, as amended
from time to time. In the event of default of the terms of these grants,
by the sponsor, State grants shall be recovered proportionately and
in the same manner that Federal Funds are recovered under the
provisions of said Subchapter IV as amended from time to time.

(c)   Any public or other non-profit group sponsoring or operating
a nursing home in this State which is eligible for a Federal grant
under said Subchapter IV, as amended from time to time, may
petition the State Department of Health for a grant toward the cost
of the same project. Grants shall be subject to the following
limitations:

(1) All Federal grants available for this purpose shall be applied
first to the cost of construction and equipment of each nursing home.
State grants shall be used to supplement Federal grants cumulatively
for the period of this Act in such a manner that grants from these
combined State and Federal sources provide not more than 66⅔%
