The selection of a geographic site shall also consider the incidence of young children within these at-risk geographic areas who are cocaine babies, children of teenage parents, low birth weight babies, and very young foster children.
C. Funding for this program shall be provided from the unused funds from the Oklahoma Employer/Employee Partnership for Insurance Coverage pursuant to Section 1010.1 of Title 56 of the Oklahoma Statutes, not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00).
