Is the Health Department a County Office?
"This question has been considered in the past, and it has consistently been concluded, in various contexts, that a general health district is not a county office. For example, 1991 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 91-016, at 2-80, states plainly: "The health districts are political subdivisions of the state, governed by state law, and are separate from any city, county, township or other local government." See also, e.g., 1990 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 90-106, at 2-468 ("a board of health is not a county board"); 1974 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 74-032, at 2-144 (the general health district of a county "is an arm of the state and derives its authority directly from the state"); 1965 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 65-121 (syllabus, paragraph 1) ("[a] general health district...is not a part of municipal or county government"). " Attorney General Opinion 97-029
