(a) A method for distributing to local public health authorities a base amount of state moneys received by the Oregon Health Authority pursuant to this subsection, taking into consideration the population of each local public health authority, the burden of disease borne by communities located within the jurisdiction of each local public health authority, the overall health status of communities located within the jurisdiction of each local public health authority and the ability of each local public health authority to invest in local public health activities and services;

(2) The Oregon Health Authority shall submit the formula adopted under subsection (1) of this section to the Oregon Public Health Advisory Board and the Legislative Fiscal Office no later than June 30 of each even-numbered year. At the same time that the Oregon Health Authority submits the formula, the Oregon Health Authority shall submit to the Oregon Public Health Advisory Board and the Legislative Fiscal Office an estimate of the amount of state moneys necessary to fund in part or in whole the foundational capabilities established under ORS 431.131 and the foundational programs established under ORS 431.141.
(3) The Oregon Health Authority shall adopt by rule incentives and a process for identifying, updating and applying accountability metrics, for the purpose of encouraging the effective and equitable provision of public health services by local public health authorities.
(4) Nothing in this section prohibits the Oregon Health Authority from distributing state moneys that the Oregon Health Authority receives for the purpose of funding the foundational capabilities established under ORS 431.131 and the foundational programs established under ORS 431.141 to local public health authorities on an individual basis as opposed to a statewide basis, or through a competitive grant or contract process or on the basis of need, if the state moneys received are insufficient to adequately fund local public health authorities on a statewide basis.
