(2) Beginning in the fiscal year after a community mental health services program becomes a community mental health authority under section 205, if the department increases the amount of state funds provided to community mental health services programs for the fiscal year, all of the following apply:

(a) The amount of local match required of a community mental health authority for that fiscal year shall not exceed the amount of funds provided by the community mental health services program as local match in the year in which the program became a community mental health authority.

(b) Subject to the constraint of funds actually appropriated by the county or county board of commissioners, the amount of county match required of a county or counties that have created a community mental health authority shall not exceed the amount of funds provided by the county or counties as county match in fiscal year 1994-1995 or the year the authority is created, whichever is greater.

(c) If the local match provided by the community mental health services program is less than the level of local match provided in the year in which the community mental health services program became a community mental health authority, subdivision (a) does not apply.

(d) The state is not obligated to provide additional state funds because of the limitation on local funding levels provided for in subdivisions (a) and (b).
