Chapter 1. State Grants to Local Boards of Health for the Improvement of Community Health Services
16-46-1-1. Legislative Intent

Sec. 1. In many areas within Indiana, local boards of health lack the necessary funds to provide adequate and proper health services. The general assembly by this chapter intends that the state shall assume the state's responsibility for providing adequate and proper health services through local boards of health throughout Indiana. Other statutes have established a partnership responsibility by and between the state and local government for the provision of health services, and the purpose of this chapter is to enable local boards of health through the provision of state foundation, adjustment, and incentive support to more adequately meet present and future needs and requirements for community health services.
