Any moneys appropriated to fund grants under the Kansas community mental health centers assistance act and not designated to fund grants pursuant to K.S.A. 65-4434 and amendments thereto shall be distributed as special purpose grants in accordance with this section to individual mental health centers at the discretion of the secretary to establish priority services. All special purpose grants shall be awarded through a request for proposal process for programs determined to be priority programs by the secretary in accordance with criteria established by rules and regulations. On and after July 1, 1989, each special purpose grant awarded to a mental health center in accordance with this section shall be matched by additional local effort funding as required by rules and regulations of the secretary. As used in this section, "additional local effort funding" means additional funding provided for the mental health center submitting the proposal for a special purpose grant, which is above the amount of such funding for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for which the proposal is submitted, which is received from all local sources, including taxes levied for the mental health center, and which qualifies as additional local effort funding under rules and regulations of the secretary.
