SDCL § 28-13A-5: Discontinuance--Disposition of fund--Final assessment.

If fewer than thirty-five counties elect to remain in the catastrophic county poor relief fund at the end of any calendar year, the fund must be discontinued and the reserve reverted to the counties participating in the fund at the time the fund is discontinued in proportion to the amount of money that each county contributed pursuant to § 28-13A-9. If the fund balance is negative when the fund is discontinued, a final assessment must be made on and paid in full by all counties participating in the fund at the time the fund is discontinued in proportion to the amount of money each county received, pursuant to this chapter, to bring the fund balance to zero.
