Section 1 of the Budget Appropriation Bill provides an appropriation in appropriated special funds and 3 positions in health planning (35-01-30) for the purpose of operating a Delaware Health Statistics Program which would collect, maintain and analyze health-related data to assist the health community in planning, administering and evaluating the quality, quantity and appropriate combination of health services. Revenues for the purpose of funding this Program shall be derived from the sale of copies of vital statistics records for birth, death and marriage certificates and shall be deposited in a holding account. In February 1986, the Department of Health and Social Services, under a separate provision, raised the fee for such records. Notwithstanding the provisions of § 6102 of this title and § 3132 of Title 16, the Internal Program Unit shall be allowed to retain and expend only the portion of the fee above the amount of $2.50 per copy up to the appropriation limit. The balance shall continue to be deposited to the General Fund.
