any of the counties of the State fails or refuses to
participate in and administer a food stamp program [or,
pursuant to applicable federal and State statutes, rules and
regulations, fails or refuses to finance the nonfederal
portion of the administrative costs of the food stamp

shall be the basis of the reimbursement.]

an action in the court of appropriate jurisdiction to compel
the City of Baltimore or the county to fulfill its federal
requirements under this section. [The Social Services
Administration also may request the Comptroller to recover,
by withholding State moneys due to the City of Baltimore or
the county, the reasonable nonfederal administrative costs
incurred by the State in implementing the food stamp program
for the city or the county.]
