State public health agencies are responsible for monitoring health status and enforcing laws and regulations that protect and improve the public's health. These agencies receive funding from federal agencies for the implementation of public health interventions such as the maternal and child health programs. State agencies distribute federal and state funds to the local public health agencies to implement programs and provide oversight and consultation for local public health agencies. State health agencies also delegate some public health powers, such as the power to quarantine, to local health officers. Local departments file birth and death certificates and often ask for volunteers to assist.
