How the Health Department Spends Public Health Money
The Health Department can divide and spend money given by the legislature for public health. It must be very careful with spending and must think about leasing equipment instead of buying it. Leases can include maintenance, buying options, and updates.

The department shall observe the strictest economy in the expenditure of all public moneys placed under its control.
