SB 6297: Local public health financng

Revising the formula for local public health financing in a county where a city annexed territory with fifty thousand residents or more in 1996 or 1997.

Summary

If funds are available, the populations of cities over 50,000 that incorporated in 1996 and 1997 are included in the calculation of city contributions to counties for public health purposes. Excess revenues in the county sales and use tax equalization account are used to cover the cost of including these city populations in the local public health funding calculation.
