§ 25-1-513 — Enlargement of or withdrawal from public health agency

(1) Any
county contiguous to a district maintaining a district public health agency may
become a part of the district by agreement between its board of county
commissioners and the boards of county commissioners of the counties comprising
the district. The county, upon being accepted into the district, shall thereupon
become subject to the provisions of this part 5.

(2) Any county in a district maintaining a district public health agency may
withdraw from the district by resolution of its board of county commissioners. A
county may not withdraw from a district within the two-year period following the
establishment of the district or the county becoming a part of the district. A county
may only withdraw from a district after one year's written notice given to the
agency. In the event of withdrawal of a county from a district, any moneys that had
been appropriated by the county before withdrawal to cover its proportionate share
of maintaining the district may be returned to the county. A county shall establish a
county public health agency or join another district public health agency once the
county withdraws from a district.

(3) A municipal corporation that has voluntarily merged its public health
agency with a county or district public health agency under the authority of section
25-1-506 may withdraw from the county or district public health agency by
resolution of its city council, board of trustees, or other governing body. A municipal
corporation may not withdraw from an agency within the two-year period following
the municipal corporation becoming a part of the agency. A county may only
withdraw from a district ninety days after a written notice is given to the agency.
