(a) For each fiscal year, or portion thereof, in which a service or function associated with the provisions of P.L. 1990, c.66, is assumed by the Department, the county shall deduct from its final appropriations upon which its permissible county tax levy is calculated the amount which the county expended for that service or function during the last full budget year, or portion thereof, for which the service or function so transferred was funded from appropriations in the county budget. If the Commissioner determines that any county welfare agency has failed to effectively administer or to substantially follow State and Federal law in its administration of those programs for which the Department of Human Services has responsibility, the Commissioner shall have the authority to take the following actions:

1. Make the administrative and programmatic changes necessary to ensure compliance with State and Federal law and regulation;

2. Bill the county for the reasonable expenses incurred by the Department in ensuring compliance;

3. Hire any consultant or undertake any studies of the agency's operations deemed appropriate;

4. Direct expenditures of the CWA in a reasonable and prudent manner to effectuate the purposes of any public assistance program, including reallocating funds within the CWA budget and determine additional amounts of revenue needed to ensure the efficient and effective administration of such programs within the agency's budget;

5. Operate the CWA; and

6. Do all acts necessary or appropriate to ensure that the needs of eligible public assistance recipients are met pursuant to State and Federal law.
