WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                        Ch. 6

4A.

ANY REQUIREMENT FOR A LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTION TO THE
COSTS OF SOCIAL SERVICES OR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS, FORMERLY
GOVERNED BY FORMER ARTICLE 88A, § 18A, WAS INTENDED TO BE
REPEALED AND TERMINATED WHEN ARTICLE 88A, § 18A WAS REPEALED BY
CHAPTER 103 OF THE ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF 1978. ANY
PROVISION OF THE CODE INCONSISTENT WITH THAT INTENT TO ELIMINATE
REQUIREMENTS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COSTS OF
SOCIAL SERVICES OR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS IS HEREBY REPEALED,
AND ANY LOCAL CONTRIBUTION WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN REQUIRED PURSUANT
TO SUCH A PROVISION IS HEREBY WAIVED AND TERMINATED AND OF NO
FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT.

DRAFTER'S NOTE:

Error: Failure to properly codify Ch. 270, Acts of
1987.

Occurred: Ch. 270, Acts of 1987.

Article 88A - Social Services Administration

13.

(d) Administrative costs of the local departments for the
purpose of this section shall be paid out of [funds derived from
local sources or out of] allotments from State or federal funds,
[or any of them,] as the State Department may prescribe. [The
local governing authority in each county and in Baltimore City is
hereby empowered and directed to levy for or appropriate such
funds, from time to time, as may be necessary for this purpose.]
THIS SUBSECTION DOES NOT PROHIBIT ANY COUNTY FROM APPROPRIATING
ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF THE LOCAL
DEPARTMENT.
