The fund is available for the program and administrative costs of the county department.(3)(a) The county board shall administer the fund pursuant to rules adopted by the state department and by the department of early childhood for purposes of child care assistance. The county treasurer is the treasurer and custodian of the fund and shall disburse money from the fund only upon special county social services warrants drawn by the person duly appointed by the county board. The county treasurer shall not collect any fee as provided in section 30-1-102 for the collection or deposit of any money in the county social services fund.
