§ 605. State aid; amount of reimbursement. 1. A state aid base grant
shall be reimbursed to municipalities for the core public health
services identified in section six hundred two of this title, in an
amount of the greater of one dollar and thirty cents per capita, for
each person in the municipality, or seven hundred fifty thousand
dollars, provided that the municipality expends at least seven hundred
fifty thousand dollars, for such core public health services. A
municipality must provide all the core public health services identified
in section six hundred two of this title to qualify for such base grant
unless the municipality has the approval of the commissioner to expend
the base grant on a portion of such core public health services. If any
services in such section are not provided, the commissioner shall limit
the municipality's per capita or base grant to reflect the scope of the
reduced services, in an amount not to exceed five hundred seventy-seven
thousand five hundred dollars. The commissioner may use the amount that
is not granted to contract with agencies, associations, or organizations
to provide such services; or the health department may use such
proportionate share to provide the services upon approval of the
director of the division of the budget.

2. State aid reimbursement for public health services provided by a
municipality under this title, shall be made if the municipality is
providing some or all of the core public health services identified in
section six hundred two of this title, pursuant to an approved
application for state aid, at a rate of no less than thirty-six per
centum, except for the city of New York which shall receive no less than
twenty per centum, of the difference between the amount of moneys
expended by the municipality for public health services required by
section six hundred two of this title during the fiscal year and the
base grant provided pursuant to subdivision one of this section.
Provided, however, that a municipality's documented fringe benefit costs
submitted under an application for state aid and otherwise eligible for
reimbursement under this article shall not exceed fifty per centum of
the municipality's eligible personnel services. No such reimbursement
shall be provided for services that are not eligible for state aid
pursuant to this article.

3. Municipalities shall make every reasonable effort to collect
payments for public health services provided. All such revenues shall be
reported to the commissioner pursuant to section six hundred six of this
title and will be deducted from expenditures identified under
subdivision two of this section to produce a net cost eligible for state
aid.
