TITLE 31 HEALTH

Section 3. County Boards of Health, 31-3-1 through 31-3-16.

ARTICLE 3 PERINATAL FACILITIES

31-3-14. Financing of expenses.

The county board of health, at a regular or called meeting, at a time appropriate to the fiscal operation of the county, shall determine and fix the amount of money needed for the fiscal or calendar year, as the case may be, in accordance with a budget itemizing anticipated income and expenditure; the budget shall include any unobligated moneys carried over from the current period and funds to be made available from sources other than county taxes. The expenditures anticipated, after applying credits, shall be certified by the county board of health, with a copy of the budget, to the taxing authority of the county, which may fix and levy a tax rate sufficient to raise such amount at the same time and in the same manner prescribed for levying taxes for other county purposes, provided the taxing authority of the county deems the budget reasonable. If, however, the taxing authority of the county should deem the budget unreasonable, it shall promptly return the budget to the county board of health with its objections attached thereto for the purpose of resubmission.

(Code 1933, § 88-214, enacted by Ga. L. 1964, p. 499, § 1.)

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Expense of confining rabid animals to be included in budget.

- Local county boards of health should prescribe rules for prevention and control of rabies by providing for vaccination, tagging, and certification of dogs and for confinement of any animal which exhibits signs of rabies; the cost of such confinement would be an expense of the county board of health to be included in the board's budget which is submitted to local taxing authorities. 1965-66 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 65-21.

County board shall maintain funds separate from general county funds.

- Ga. L. 1964, p. 499, § 1, and Ga. L. 1966, p. 380, § 1 indicate that county board of health shall maintain the board's funds separate from those of county, rather than that the board's funds should be paid into general county funds. 1971 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U71-120.
