§ 101255 Local Health Funding Match
This law says a local health department can only get state money if it first puts in its own money that is at least twice the amount each person in the area would get under another rule.
A small town wants state money to run its health clinic. The state rule says each resident should get $10 from the state program. The town must first spend at least $20 per resident from its own budget before the state money can be given.
The town checks how many people live there, multiplies that number by $20, and makes sure it has that much in its own budget. Only then can it receive the state funds.
Required local funds = 2 × (per‑capita allotment) × (population)
A county has 5,000 residents. The per‑capita allotment in Section 101230(b) is $12 per person.
Result: Required local funds = 2 × $12 × 5,000 = $120,000. The county must put $120,000 of its own money into the health department before it can receive any state money.
