As a prerequisite for receiving assistance provided under this act, each mental health center shall agree to provide the secretary with at least 45 days' notice prior to initiating a new program. If the secretary determines that such program duplicates a program which is adequately serving the geographic area served by such mental health center, the secretary may subsequently withdraw assistance provided under this act equal to the net loss, if any, generated by the program in the previous calendar year unless the mental health center agrees to purchase the service from or otherwise cooperate with such other program.
