§ 25.03 Financial support and disbursement of funds.
(a)  In  accordance  with  the  provisions of this article, and within
  appropriations made available, the office may provide  state  aid  to  a
  program  operated by a local governmental unit or voluntary agency up to
  one hundred per centum of the  approved  net  operating  costs  of  such
  program  operated  by a local governmental unit or voluntary agency, and
  state aid may  also  be  granted  to  a  program  operated  by  a  local
  governmental  unit  or  a  voluntary agency for capital costs associated
  with the provision of services at a rate of up to one hundred percent of
  approved capital costs. Such state aid shall not be granted  unless  and
  until  such  program  operated by a local governmental unit or voluntary
  agency  is  in  compliance  with  all  regulations  promulgated  by  the
  commissioner regarding the financing of capital projects. Such state aid
  for  approved  net  operating  costs  shall  be made available by way of
  advance or reimbursement, through either contracts entered into  between
  the  office  and  such voluntary agency or by distribution of such state
  aid to local governmental units through  a  grant  process  pursuant  to
  section 25.11 of this article.
(b)  Financial  support by the office shall be subject to the approval
  of the director of the budget and within available appropriations.
(c) All federal financial  assistance  granted  or  allocated  to  the
  office  by  the  United  States  shall only be paid out on the audit and
  warrant of the comptroller on the certificate of the commissioner or his
  authorized representative.
(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the state to
  increase such state aid should  a  local  governmental  unit  choose  to
  remove  any portion of its local tax levy support of voluntary agencies,
  although the state may choose to do so to address an urgent public need,
  or conversely, may choose to  reduce  its  state  aid  up  to  the  same
  percentage as the reduction in local tax levy.
