disability.

If, after the establishment of the taxing district for mental health or individuals with
an intellectual disability as provided for in this section, KRS 210.460, and KRS
210.470, the tax levying authorities in member areas of the district, in the opinion of
the community board for mental health or individuals with an intellectual disability,
do not appropriate an amount sufficient to meet the needs of the services program
for mental health or individuals with an intellectual disability and clinic, as
established pursuant to KRS 210.370, the community board for mental health or
individuals with an intellectual disability, acting as the governing body of the taxing
district shall, with the approval of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services,
request the fiscal courts in each of the member areas which have not contributed a
sufficient proportionate share of the cost of the program, to impose a special ad
valorem tax for mental health or individuals with an intellectual disability in such
amount that it deems sufficient, but not in excess of four cents ($0.04) per one
hundred dollars ($100) of full assessed valuation. The fiscal court may, upon receipt
of a duly certified copy of said request, include in the next ad valorem tax levy said
special tax for mental health or individuals with an intellectual disability imposed
by the board for mental health or individuals with an intellectual disability, which
shall be in addition to all other county ad valorem taxes. If levied by the fiscal court,
said special tax for mental health or individuals with an intellectual disability shall
be collected in the same manner as are other county ad valorem taxes and turned
over to the community board for mental health or individuals with an intellectual
disability to be used for the maintenance and operation of the services program for
mental health or individuals with an intellectual disability and clinic as provided in
KRS 210.460. No appropriation for a services program for mental health or
individuals with an intellectual disability and clinic established under KRS 210.370
shall be reduced or eliminated on the grounds that a special tax has been levied
where the community board for mental health or individuals with an intellectual
disability requested the amount levied as a necessary supplement to that
appropriation. Taxing districts organized pursuant to KRS 210.470 shall not be
subject to the provisions of the compensating tax rate as defined by KRS 132.010
nor to Acts 1965 (1st Ex. Sess.), ch. 2.
Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as precluding any city or county
from appropriating or allocating funds in any other manner for the support of the
regional services program for mental health or individuals with an intellectual
disability and clinic, pursuant to KRS 210.460, or any other statutory provision.
