State Commissioner of Health.
An estimated budget for mini-
mum health services shall be
calculated for each political sub-
division. Each subdivision's
share of its own minimum budget
shall be that percentage of half
the total estimated minimum
budgets of all subdivisions which
that subdivision's total estimated
real and personal property valua-
tions bear to the total estimated
real and personal property valua-
tions of all subdivisions. Each
political subdivision's share of
the funds available to the State
Department of Health is the dif-
ference between the total esti-
mated budget for that subdivi-
sion and that subdivision's ap-
propriation; however, no subdivi-
sion shall pay more that 80% of
its minimum budget nor less than
20%. The State Commissioner
of Health shall be responsible for
acting on plans and budgets for
health services in each subdivi-
sion, and shall expend the same
proportion of the State's share
for State approved programs,
that actual expenditures, as es-
tablished to the satisfaction of
the State Commissioner of
Health, made by that subdivision
for general health services bears
to that subdivision's share of the
State approved program, pro-
vided that all such expenditures
do not exceed the total amounts
available under the appropria-
tions herein set forth. If any sub-
division appropriates and ex-
pends more than is provided
herein as its share of its esti-
mated budget for minimum
health services, the State Com-
missioner of Health is author-
ized, subject to availability of
funds under this appropriation,
to match such additional ex-
penditures, provided that the ag-
gregate of State and Federal
funds paid for such additional
expenditures shall not exceed
20% of such additional expendi-
tures. The State Board of Health
