205.962. Division of family services to contract with counties--counties not to participate without contract--expenses of program, how paid.

205.962. 1. The division of family services shall enter into a written agreement with the county commission or governing body of any county which desires to participate in a program for the distribution of agricultural commodities within such county. Any agreement shall cover the responsibility of the parties thereto for the administration of the program and shall contain such terms and conditions as are required by regulations prescribed under federal laws governing distribution of such commodities as well as regulations of the division of family services. No county commission or governing body of a county shall participate in the administration of such program unless it has an agreement with the division of family services under this section. Expenses incurred in connection with a federally donated agricultural commodities food distribution program, including sums expended for the acquisition, warehousing, cold storage, safekeeping, maintenance of proper records and distribution of surplus agricultural commodities shall be paid by the county and division of family services in pursuance of the agreement entered into under this section or, in the absence of such agreement, by the division of family services. A county commission which has an agreement for distributing food commodities with the division of family services shall not be required to pay over fifteen percent of the total distribution costs in its county.

2. For the payment of expenses incurred in connection with the sale and distribution of federal food stamps in any county the division of family services may enter into agreements with banking corporations and with the county for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a food stamp distribution program in the county, and may accept moneys, services or quarters as a contribution toward the support and maintenance of such program. Any funds so received shall be payable to the director of revenue and deposited in the proper special account in the state treasury and become and be a part of the state funds appropriated for the use of the division of family services.
