A 2705: Relates to the amount of state aid reimbursement for public health services by a municipality in the city of New York when the municipality is providing some or all of certain identified core public health services.
The bill aims to amend the public health law to change the state aid reimbursement rates for public health services provided by municipalities in the city of New York. The reimbursement rate will be at least 36% of the difference between the municipality's public health service expenses and the base grant provided. However, fringe benefit costs cannot exceed 50% of eligible personnel services. This change will apply to municipalities providing core public health services, and services not eligible for state aid will not receive reimbursement. The bill takes effect immediately.
