CHAPTER 443
(House Bill 1034)

AN ACT to authorize the creation of a State Debt in the aggre-
gate amount of Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($3,500,000), the proceeds thereof to be used exclusively for pur-
pose of supplementing grants made to the State Department of
Health for public and other nonprofit nursing homes in this State
by the Federal Government under the provisions of "Subchapter
IV—Construction of Hospitals and Other Facilities", USCA, Title
42, Sections 291 et seq., as amended from time to time, by grant-
ing financial allotments for the construction and equipping of
such nursing homes, and providing generally for the issue and
sale of Certificates of Indebtedness evidencing such loan, and pro-
viding for a certain contingency whereby this Act may be repealed
and of no further effect.

Section 1. It is the intent of this Act that funds authorized
shall be used primarily to provide nursing home facilities for patients
certified for welfare assistance and persons of low income and that
such funds shall be made available according to established priority
formulae, giving first priority to sponsors in areas in which the
unmet need for nursing home facilities for these patients is greatest.
