What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Health Services to distribute funds to local

health departments to use for communicable disease control and prevention

measures, specifically, disease surveillance, contact tracing, staff development and

training, improving communication among health care professionals, public

education and outreach, and other infection control measures as required by law.

Under the bill, DHS must take into consideration certain factors to establish an

equitable allocation formula for the distribution of funds. The bill also requires each

local health department to submit to DHS a financial statement regarding its use of

funds received from DHS.
