212.040 Establishment for one county by fiscal court -- Appropriation. The fiscal court of any county may by resolution at a regular session declare that the
county shall be a district for the creation, establishment and maintenance of a county
health department. Upon the resolution being passed, the fiscal court shall at once, out of
the funds of the county, appropriate a sufficient amount for the creation, establishment
and maintenance of the county health department. If there are not sufficient funds on hand
for such appropriation at the time the resolution is adopted, the fiscal court shall, at the
next succeeding county levy, make a levy sufficient to produce the necessary amount of
tax for the creation, establishment and maintenance of the county health department. The
fiscal court shall annually thereafter make a levy sufficient to pay the annual expense of
maintenance of the county health department. After the resolution creating the department
is entered, any twenty (20) legal voters may, within thirty (30) days, file with the county
judge/executive a petition signed by them requesting that the establishment of the county
health department be done by the vote of the people of the county as provided in KRS
212.080, in which case it shall be so done. Effective: October 1, 1942
History: Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. sec. 2054a-2.
