A public entity that receives General Fund money from the State Department of Public Health for HIV prevention and education may use that money to support clean needle and syringe exchange programs authorized pursuant to existing law. The money may be used for, but is not limited to, the purchase of sterile hypodermic needles and syringes as part of a clean needle and syringe exchange program only if all of the following conditions are met:

(a) The General Fund money used for purchasing the sterile hypodermic needles and syringes does not supplant any other public or private funds or other resources for this purpose.

(b) The amount of the General Fund money used for purchasing the sterile hypodermic needles and syringes does not exceed 7.5 percent of the total amount of the General Fund money received by the public entity for HIV prevention and education.

(c) Each dollar of General Fund money used for purchasing the sterile hypodermic needles and syringes is matched by forty-three cents ($0.43) of moneys from nonstate public funds or private funds.

(d) The allocation of General Fund money for the purchase of sterile hypodermic needles and syringes is based upon epidemiological data as reported by the health jurisdiction in its local HIV prevention plan submitted to the Office of AIDS within the department.
