Official statutory text
The county board of health shall annually file with the county
excise board an estimate of needs for the operation or maintenance
of the county, district or cooperative department of health to the
extent that county funds are required for such purpose, and it shall
be the mandatory duty of the county excise board to approve the same

Section 9A, Article 10, Oklahoma Constitution; and so much of the
levy as may be needed shall thereupon be ordered made. The estimate
of needs may include, in addition to items for current operating
expenses, items for anticipated capital outlay in the future which

will be available for expenditure. Provided, that nothing herein
shall prohibit the appropriation or use of other county funds for
such purposes, or for other public health purposes.
