  1.8      Subd. 3.  [MAINTENANCE OF FUNDING EFFORT.] To receive money 
  1.9   through this program, each county shall certify, in its annual 
  1.10  plan to the commissioner, that the county has not reduced 
  1.11  allocations from other federal, and state, and county sources, 
  1.12  which, in the absence of the child care fund, would have been 
  1.13  available for child care assistance.  However, the county must 
  1.14  continue contributions, as necessary, to maintain on the basic 
  1.15  sliding fee program for families who are receiving assistance on 
  1.16  July 1, 1995, until the family loses eligibility for the program 
  1.17  or until a family voluntarily withdraws from the program.  This 
  1.18  subdivision does not affect the local match required for this 
  1.19  program under other sections of the law.
