DISCUSSION:
Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious and communicable disease, dangerous to public health. Public Health Departments are mandated by California Health and Safety Code § 121350 to maintain a program for the prevention and control of TB. CDPH allots base funding to counties to administer the program. On top of base funding, CDPH allots funding for food, shelter, incentives and enablers (FSIE) to counties each year as a pass-through to TB patients who must be isolated and are unable to work. CDPH also occasionally allots funds to counties for miscellaneous TB program purposes. The current allotment before your Board is for the base funding allotment for FY 2026-27.
The Communicable Disease Prevention and Response Unit (CDPRU) is requesting Board authorization for the Public Health Director to execute the attached Acceptance of Award in the amount of $12,432.
