101315
. (a) Federal funding received by the State Department of
Public Health for bioterrorism preparedness and emergency response is
subject to appropriation in the annual Budget Act or other statute,
commencing with the 2003-04 fiscal year.
(b) This article governs those instances when federal funding is
allocated and expended for public health preparedness and response by
local health jurisdictions, hospitals, long-term health care
facilities, clinics, emergency medical systems, and poison control
centers, or their trade associations, for the prevention of, and
response to, bioterrorist attacks and other public health emergencies
pursuant to the federally approved collaborative state-local plan.
(c) A local health jurisdiction shall be ineligible to receive
funding from appropriations made for purposes of this article when
that local health jurisdiction receives directly or through another
local jurisdiction federal funding for the same purposes. Moneys
appropriated for purposes of this article that would have been
allocated to a local health jurisdiction that is ineligible, pursuant
to this subdivision, to receive funding shall be allocated, as
provided in Section 101317, among the remaining local health
jurisdictions that are eligible.
(d) Funds appropriated for the purposes of this article shall not
be used to supplant funding for existing levels of service and shall
only be used for purposes specified in Section 101317.
(e) This article shall apply only when local health jurisdictions,
hospitals, long-term health care facilities, clinics, emergency
medical systems, and poison control centers, or their trade
associations are designated by a federal or state agency to manage
the funds for public health preparedness and response to bioterrorist
attacks and other public health emergencies, pursuant to the
federally approved collaborative state-local plan.
