"GRANTS TO STATES FOR EXTENSION AND IMPROVEMENT OF PRACTICAL NURSE T R A I N I N G

64 Stat. 27.

"SEC. 202. (a) From the sums appropriated for any fiscal year pursuant to section 201, each State shall be entitled to an allotment of an amount bearing the same ratio to such sums as the total of the amounts apportioned under title I and the Act of March 18, 1950 (20 U.S.C. 31-33) to such State for such year bears to the total of the amounts so apportioned to all the States for such year. The allotment to any State under the preceding sentence for a fiscal year which is less than $10,000 (or, in the case of the Virgin Islands, which is less than $5,000) shall be increased to that amount, the total of the increases thereby required being derived by proportionately reducing the allotments to each of the remaining States under the preceding sentence, but with such adjustments as may be necessary to prevent the allotment of any of such remaining States from being thereby reduced to less than that amount. " (b) The amount of any allotment to a State under subsection (a) for any fiscal year which the State certifies to the Commissioner will not be required for carrying out the State plan (if any) approved under this title, shall be available for reallotment from time to time, on such dates as the Commissioner may fix, to other States in proportion to the original allotments to such States under subsection (a) for such year. Any amount so reallotted to a State shall be deemed part of its allotment under subsection (a). "(c) From each State's allotment under this section for any fiscal year, the Commissioner shall pay to such State a portion of the cost of carrying out the State plan approved under this title. To the extent permitted by the State's allotment under subsection (a) for any fiscal year, the portion of the cost of carrying out the State plan paid under this section shall be 75 per centum of such cost in the case of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1957, and the fiscal year ending June 30, 1958, and 50 per centum of such cost in the case of each of the next three fiscal years. "STATE PLANS

"SEC. 203. (a) To be approvable under this title, a State plan to extend and improve practical nurse training shall— "(1) designate the State board as the sole agency for the administration of the plan or for the supervision of administration of the plan by local educational agencies; "(2) provide that the individual supervising the functions of the State board under the plan shall be a registered professional nurse or shall have the consultative services of a registered professional nurse available to him; "(3) show the plans, policies, and methods to be followed in extending and improving practical nurse training under the State plan, and in administering and supervising the administration of the plan, and provide such accounting, budgeting, and other fiscal methods and procedures as are necessary for the proper and efficient administration of the plan; "(4) contain minimum qualifications for teachers, teachertrainers, supervisors, and directors; and "(5) provide that the State board will make such reports, in such form and containing such information, as the Commissioner may from time to time reasonably require to carry out his functions under this title, and comply with such provisions as he may from time to time find necessary to assure the correctness and verification of such reports.
