§ 11-11-65 — Programs and activities for handicapped persons - Expenditure of funds

The board of county commissioners may establish or maintain programs and activities for
handicapped persons, including recreational and other leisure-time activities and informational,
health, welfare, transportation, counseling, and referral services. The board may expend funds
received from state, federal, or private sources or provide funding from revenues derived from
its general fund levy authority for the public purposes provided for in this section. No
expenditure may be made to defray any expenses of any organization or agency until the
organization or agency is incorporated under the laws of this state as a nonprofit corporation
and has contracted with the board in regard to the manner in which the funds will be expended
and the services will be provided. An organization or agency that receives the funds must be
reviewed or approved annually by the board to determine its eligibility to receive funds under
this section.
