As Amended
SEC. 41-55-47. Funds for support and maintenance of district.
The board of supervisors of any county of the state which becomes a part of an air ambulance service district may set aside, appropriate and expend moneys from the general fund for the support and maintenance of the district. Any county which desires to become a part of an air ambulance service district shall each year appropriate a sum equal to the avails of a tax of one-half (1/2) mill on all taxable property of the county for the support and maintenance of the district or such county will not be qualified to become or remain a part of the district.
Should the board of directors of any air ambulance service district determine that an appropriation from the general fund in an amount less than the year's prior appropriation would be sufficient to maintain and operate the district for the forthcoming fiscal year, such determination shall, by resolution, be spread upon the minutes of the board of directors, which resolution shall recite the amount of the appropriation which would suffice. A certified copy of such resolution shall be delivered to the clerk of the board of supervisors of the counties affected thereby. When so done, the board of supervisors of the counties comprising the district may for the forthcoming year appropriate from the general fund no less than the amount of levy declared to be sufficient in such resolution without losing their qualification as members of the district.
