     246.54 Liability of county; reimbursement. 

    Except for chemical dependency services provided under 
 sections 254B.01 to 254B.09, the client's county shall pay to 
 the state of Minnesota a portion of the cost of care provided in 
 a regional treatment center to a client legally settled in that 
 county.  A county's payment shall be made from the county's own 
 sources of revenue and payments shall be paid as follows:  
 payments to the state from the county shall equal ten percent of 
 the cost of care, as determined by the commissioner, for each 
 day, or the portion thereof, that the client spends at a 
 regional treatment center.  If payments received by the state 
 under sections 246.50 to 246.53 exceed 90 percent of the cost of 
 care, the county shall be responsible for paying the state only 
 the remaining amount.  The county shall not be entitled to 
 reimbursement from the client, the client's estate, or from the 
 client's relatives, except as provided in section 246.53.  No 
 such payments shall be made for any client who was last 
 committed prior to July 1, 1947.
