Requires health districts be accredited to receive funding from the department of health

This bill requires all local health districts to become accredited by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) in order to receive state health department funding. Health districts must register for PHAB's process within one year of the law's effective date and achieve full accreditation within four years. The law aims to improve public health service quality and accountability by tying funding eligibility to standardized accreditation. It directly affects every local health district that relies on state funding for operations and programs.
