All courts in this state shall recognize and take judicial notice of the procedure and the rates established under this section.
(b) In lieu of the procedure for computing the basic maximum rate of charge established under subsection (a), the secretary for aging and disability services may authorize any state institution to compute an individual patient charge on the basis of rates for services based on cost incurred by such state institution as determined by application of generally acceptable hospital accounting principles.
