(a) When a patient who resides in the district is admitted to a district facility, the district administrator may have an inquiry made into the circumstances of:
(1) the patient; and
(2) the patient's relatives who are legally liable for the patient's support.
(b) If the district administrator determines that the patient or those relatives can pay for all or part of the costs of the patient's care and treatment, the patient or those relatives shall be ordered to pay the district a specified amount each day or week for the patient's care and support. The amount ordered must be proportionate to the person's financial ability.
(c) The district administrator may collect the amount from the patient's estate, or from any relative who is legally liable for the patient's support, in the manner provided by law for the collection of expenses of the last illness of a deceased person.
