26:2F-13.  Failure to provide or meet standards for priority health services;  reduction or discontinuance of aid;  late application or report; penalty
    When it has been determined that a local health agency fails to provide priority health services in accordance with standards of performance called for  in its plan of work as stated in its application for public health priority  funds or ceases to comply with the criteria for participation, public health  priority funds may be reduced or discontinued by the commissioner when, in his  judgment, such action serves to further the general purposes of this act.  When  it has been determined that a local health agency fails to meet the dates  established pursuant to sections 9 and 14 of P.L.1966, c. 36 (C. 26:2F-9 and C.  26:2F-14) for submission of the application for public health priority funds or  required reports, public health priority funds will be reduced by one day's  allocation of the total amount, for each day that the application or report is  late.  This penalty may be waived, or modified, at the discretion of the  commissioner for good cause shown.  The penalty may be imposed by decreasing  the local health agency allocation of public health funds for the following  year.
