Statute text

(a)Upon appropriation by the Legislature for this purpose, the department shall develop and implement a program to fund and support vital public health activities and services provided by the 61 local health jurisdictions in California.

(b)As a condition of funding, each local health jurisdiction shall, by December 30, 2023, and by July 1 every three years thereafter, be required to submit a public health plan to the department consistent with the requirements of subdivision (c). Each local public health plan shall be informed by the jurisdiction’s most recent community health assessment, community health improvement plan, or strategic plan, and shall include proposed evaluation methods and metrics.

(c)The funds provided for this program shall be used to supplement, rather than supplant, existing levels of the services provided by qualifying local health jurisdictions. Each local health jurisdiction receiving funds through this article shall annually certify to the department that its portion of this funding shall be used to supplement and not supplant all other specific local county funds, including, but not limited to, local realignment and county general fund resources utilized for local health jurisdiction purposes, and excluding federal funds in this determination. In addition, each local health jurisdiction shall certify that 70 percent of funds will be used to support staff, including benefits and training, and that remaining funds, not to exceed 30 percent, may be used for equipment, supplies, and other administrative purposes, such as facility space, furnishings, travel, and similar activities.
