Sec. 771.007.  REIMBURSEMENT AND ADVANCEMENT OF COSTS.  (a)  An agency that receives services or resources under this chapter shall reimburse each agency providing the services or resources the actual cost of providing the services or resources, or the nearest practicable estimate of that cost.  Reimbursement is not required if the services or resources are provided:
(1)  for national defense or disaster relief; or
(2)  in cooperative efforts, proposed by the governor, to promote the economic development of the state.
(b)  An agency that receives services or resources under this chapter may advance federal funds to an agency providing the services or resources if the agency receiving the services or resources determines that the advance would facilitate the implementation of a federally funded program.
(c)  An agency that receives services or resources under this chapter may advance funds to the agency providing the services or resources if an advance is necessary to enable the providing agency to provide the services or resources.  If an advance is made under this section, the agencies shall ensure after the services or resources are provided that the providing agency has received only sufficient funds to reimburse its total costs.  An advance of funds is a reimbursement for the purpose of Section 771.008.
