(a) Grants for construction projects or modernization projects made from state appropriations pursuant to this article shall be in an amount equal to one-third of the allowable cost of the project, except as otherwise provided in this article.

(b) In the event that state funds appropriated or otherwise made available during a given fiscal year for construction or modernization are not sufficient to match available federal funds, the state agency shall be empowered to:

(1) Reduce the percentage of contribution by the state below one-third of the allowable cost of the project in order to obtain the optimum amount of construction with funds available; and

(2) At its option, annually establish a ceiling which shall be the maximum amount that can be allotted to each or any medical facility project approved in the given fiscal year, provided that any ceiling so established shall not result in the allotment to a medical facility project of an amount greater than the one-third of allowable cost specified in subsection (a) of this Code section.

(c) The aggregate of federal and state funds granted to publicly owned and publicly operated construction or modernization projects shall be 66 2/3 percent unless state funds are inadequate to obtain optimum construction, in which event the state agency is authorized to establish an aggregate less than 66 2/3 percent.

(d) In the event an aggregate of federal and state funds is established at less than 66 2/3 percent, the state agency is authorized to establish a matching formula for any category of construction which is different from any other matching formula for any other category of construction; the state agency is further authorized to establish a matching formula for any category of modernization which is different from the matching formula for construction projects.
