The period from January 1, 1975 through December 31, 1975 shall be the base year upon which the reductions of county expenditures shall be determined in those counties having a fiscal year beginning January 1 and ending December 31. Net county costs shall be the county portion of matchable general relief expenditures which were matched by state funds during the base year, not to exceed 1 mill of the county's 1974 state equalized valuation, as certified by the director. During the first county fiscal year following the base year, county costs shall be 80% of the net county costs. During the second county fiscal year following the base year, county costs shall be 60% of the net county costs. During the third county fiscal year following the base year, county costs shall be 40% of the net county costs.

Any additional amount required to fulfill the provisions of this subsection shall be paid from the general fund and remitted to the county with the June, 1977 payment provided under subsection (4).

(7) The state department may make arrangements to disburse amounts to general public relief recipients after determination of the recipients' needs by county. The arrangements shall permit general public relief payments by the department and voucher or vendor payments for persons entitled to general public relief not involving any federal funds, where the well-being of the recipient or the protection of general public relief funds makes such payments desirable. Nothing in this section or act shall be construed, however, as limiting the right of the state department to make warrants payable to and deliver same to any creditor of a recipient of general public relief who has provided food, shelter, or public utility service to such recipients at the request of the state department.
