32.01.03.02 General Local Health
Services
This appropriation for general

health services in the

political subdivisions of

Maryland is to be portioned

among the political

subdivisions of Maryland by

a formula based on estimated

total valuations of real and

personal property subject to

local taxation as the

measure of each

subdivision's ability to pay

for its health services.

Such total valuations for

each subdivision shall be

estimated by the State

Department of Assessments

and Taxation and certified

to the Secretary of Health

and Mental Hygiene. An

estimated budget for minimum

health services shall be

calculated for each

political subdivision. Each

subdivision's share of its

own minimum budget shall be

that percentage of half the

total estimated minimum

budget of all subdivisions

which that subdivision's

total estimated real and

personal property valuations

bear to the total estimated

real and personal property

valuations of all

subdivisions.                       Each

political subdivision's

share of the funds available

to the State Department of

Health and Mental Hygiene is

the difference between the

total estimated budget for

that subdivision and that

subdivision's appropriation;
