Latest version.
  • The  board of
      supervisors of any county may, upon recommendation of the  county  board
      of  health, contract with any nonprofit institution or agency, wholly or
      partly under private control, organized to furnish visiting nursing  and
      public  health  services  and  agree  to  pay fees specified in the said
      contract for such services furnished to inhabitants of the  county.  Any
      fees  for  services  collected by the institution or agency for services
      rendered under such  contract  shall  be  credited  against  the  amount
      payable  by  the  county under the terms of the contract. Such contracts
      shall be effective only upon  approval  of  the  state  commissioner  of
      health  and the state comptroller. Such contracts shall provide that the
      contracting institution or agency will comply with all rules promulgated
      by the county health commissioner.    Such  boards  of  supervisors  are
      authorized  and empowered to appropriate the sums required to be paid to
      such institutions and agencies under the terms of such contracts and  to
      raise the amount thereof by taxation.
