(C) THE DEPARTMENT MAY COLLECT FEES FROM A CORE SERVICE AGENCY
FOR THE COST OF TREATMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WHOM THE CORE SERVICE AGENCY
AUTHORIZES AS ELIGIBLE FOR ADMISSION INTO A STATE FACILITY AS DESCRIBED
IN TITLE 10, SUBTITLE 4 OF THIS ARTICLE ANY SUCH FEES COLLECTED BY THE

this subsection may not include any fee for services provided more than 3 years before the
