§ 16-46-10-6 — Eligibility for funding; notice of noncompliance; demonstration of compliance; suspension; report

To remain eligible for funding under this
chapter, a local board of health must maintain compliance with the
financial report submitted under section 2.2 or 2.3 of this chapter, as
applicable, and any other reporting requirements under this title. If the
state department determines there are reasonable grounds to believe
that a local board of health is not complying with:
(1) the local board of health's financial report;
(2) statutory directives; or
(3) rules adopted by the state department;
the state department shall provide written notice of noncompliance to
the local board of health, county executive, county fiscal body, and
local health department administrator. The local board of health shall
have at least thirty (30) days to demonstrate compliance or provide a
plan for compliance that is approved by the state department. If, after
thirty (30) days, the local board of health has not demonstrated
compliance or provided a plan for compliance, the state department
may suspend funding under this chapter for the local board of health
until compliance is achieved, as determined by the state department.
The state department shall report to the state budget committee each
local board's funding that is suspended under this section within thirty
(30) days of the suspension.
