A. When a defendant is incarcerated in the McClain County Jail under this or any other ordinance of the City, the City shall not be responsible for preexisting medical conditions and shall only be responsible for those conditions that arise subsequent to arrest which come about due to the actions or omissions of the City police officers or other City employees.
B. As used in this section, the term "preexisting medical conditions" means those illnesses beginning or injuries sustained before a person is in the peaceable custody of the City's officers.
C. An inmate receiving medical care for a preexisting condition or a condition not caused by the acts or omissions of the City shall be liable for payment of the cost of care, including, but not limited to, medication, medical treatment, and transportation costs, for or relating to the condition requiring treatment.
