In any budget year subsequent to 1982, whenever a county shall have lawfully assumed, during the immediately preceding budget year, or at any time during the current budget year prior to the final adoption of the budget, the provision of any service or function funded during the immediately preceding budget year wholly or partially by one or more municipalities within the county from appropriations in the municipal budget, the county shall add to the final appropriations for the current year upon which its permissible county tax levy is calculated the amount certified by the Local Finance Board for appropriation by the county to fund that service or function in the current budget year.

c. The Local Finance Board shall approve the assumption of any service or function for the purpose of its eligibility under the provisions of this section. The board shall approve the assumption if it finds: that the assumption was lawfully made; that the assumption does not deleteriously affect the health, safety or welfare of the residents of a county or municipality; and that the assumption represents an efficient and feasible means of providing the service or function. The board shall, in approving the assumption, certify to the county or municipality assuming the service or function the amount of appropriation to fund the service or function which shall be eligible for the provisions of this section.
