(IV) PROVISIONS FOR REVOCATION OF A DELEGATION,
IF THE LOCAL HEALTH OFFICIAL FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF A
DELEGATION AGREEMENT.

(3)  IF THE DEPARTMENT FINDS THAT AN APPLICATION FOR

SECTION AND THE REGULATIONS ADOPTED UNDER THIS SECTION, THE
DEPARTMENT SHALL ENTER INTO A WRITTEN DELEGATION AGREEMENT.

STANDARDS FOR GRANTS TO REIMBURSE PROVIDE REASONABLE
REIMBURSEMENT TO COUNTIES, TO THE EXTENT FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE, FOR
REASONABLE COSTS LOCAL HEALTH OFFICIALS INCUR WHEN THEY UNDERTAKE
AUTHORITY DELEGATED UNDER THIS SUBSECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as HE §
9-210.1(g).

In subsection       (d) of this section, the former

reference to a     local health official "exercising

authority under this section" is deleted as
surplusage.

In subsection (e)(3) of this section, the clause "the
regulations adopted under this section" is new
language added because all of the other wording of
subsection (e)(3) of this section is discretionary on
the Department, and because the Department's
regulations themselves can require compliance with the
regulations.

The only other changes are in style.
