(a)Federal funding received by the State Department of Public Health for public health emergency preparedness and response is subject to appropriation in the annual Budget Act or other statute, commencing with the 2003–04 fiscal year.
(b)This article governs those instances when federal funding is allocated and expended for public health emergency preparedness and response by local health jurisdictions, hospitals, long-term health care facilities, clinics, emergency medical systems, and poison control centers, or their trade associations, for the prevention of, and response to, bioterrorist attacks and other public health emergencies pursuant to the federally approved collaborative state-local plan.
(c)A local health jurisdiction shall be ineligible to receive funding from appropriations made for purposes of this article when that local health jurisdiction receives directly or through another local jurisdiction federal funding for the same purposes.

(d)Funds appropriated for the purposes of this article shall not be used to supplant funding for existing levels of service and shall only be used for purposes specified in Section 101317.
(e)This article shall apply only when local health jurisdictions, hospitals, long-term health care facilities, clinics, emergency medical systems, and poison control centers, or their trade associations are designated by a federal or state agency to manage the funds for public health emergency preparedness and response to bioterrorist attacks and other public health emergencies, pursuant to the federally approved collaborative state-local plan.
