# O.C.G.A. § 37-6-4. Grants-in-aid to county boards of health for purchase of services from private day-care centers.

The department is authorized and empowered to make grants-in-aid to county boards of health to purchase care and training for developmentally disabled individuals from privately operated, nonprofit day-care centers provided these developmentally disabled individuals have been certified as eligible for financial assistance.

## History

Ga. L. 1966, p. 374, § 3; Ga. L. 1993, p. 1445, § 17.6; Ga. L. 2009, p. 453, § 3-5/HB 228.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 1993, p. 1445, § 18.1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: ‘‘Nothing in this Act shall be construed to repeal any provision of Chapter 5 of Title 37 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the ‘Community Services Act for the Mentally Retarded.’’’

Ga. L. 1993, p. 1445, § 19, not codified by the General Assembly, provides: ‘‘This Act shall become effective on July 1, 1994; provided, however, that provisions relating to the establishment of regional and community service board boundaries and the appointments of regional boards and community service boards shall become effective on July 1, 1993, or upon whatever date is stipulated in the Act and provided, further, that the provisions authorizing a county board of health to agree to serve as the lead county board of health for only that county shall become effective upon the approval of this Act by the Governor or upon its becoming law without such approval.’’ The Act was approved by the Governor on April 27, 1993.

Ga. L. 1993, p. 1445, which amends this Code section, provides, in § 19.1, not codified by the General Assembly, that the amendment is repealed on June 30, 1999; however, Ga. L. 1998, p. 870, § 1, struck § 19.1 of Ga. L. 1993, p. 1445, which would have repealed the 1993 amendment to this Code section.
