Each county and Baltimore City shall place on deposit with the
State Department of Health, funds equal to 20% of the costs for the
hospital care of indigent and medically indigent persons in the
respective political subdivision, to permit the State Department of
Health to pay 100% of current costs for the hospital care of those
persons. The amount to be place on deposit with the State Depart-
ment of Health for each fiscal year will be that amount specified for
the respective political subdivisions in estimates to be furnished to
the political subdivisions by the State Department of Health on or
before the December 1 immediately preceding the beginning of the
fiscal year concerned. Those estimates will be based on the same
considerations as those which are incorporated in the calculations in
the Governor's recommended budget. Following the close of the
fiscal year for which the deposit is made, the State Department of
Health shall make a final calculation of the exact amount required for
the county to satisfy the provisions of this subsection. If that amount
deposit, the additional local requirement will be reported to the polit-
ical subdivision concerned, and the political subdivision shall appro-
priate and forward that amount to the State Department of Health
within eighteen (18) months after receipt of the report. If the final
calculation shows that the amount placed on deposit was in excess
of the required amount to satisfy this subsection, the State Depart-
ment of Health will credit the differences to each subdivision con-
cerned in the estimates it forwards to each political subdivision on
or before December 1 of each year, as provided at the outset of this
subsection.
