| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Poison Control System Act is amended by |
| 5 |
| adding Section 13 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (410 ILCS 47/13 new) |
| 7 |
| Sec. 13. Funding; study. To ensure the stability of funding |
| 8 |
| for the Illinois Poison Control System, the Department of |
| 9 |
| Public Health and the Illinois Poison Advisory Board shall |
| 10 |
| conduct a study to determine the feasibility of establishing a |
| 11 |
| formula that sets State goals for funding the System. As part |
| 12 |
| of the study, the Department of Public Health and the Illinois |
| 13 |
| Poison Advisory Board shall consider the adoption of a formula |
| 14 |
| of funding for the Illinois Poison Control System that |
| 15 |
| establishes a minimum threshold of funding set on a per capita |
| 16 |
| basis. Also, as part of the study, the Department of Public |
| 17 |
| Health and the Illinois Poison Advisory Board shall consider |
| 18 |
| the feasibility of implementing a separate source of funding |
| 19 |
| for the Illinois Poison Control System separate from the |
| 20 |
| General Revenue Fund. The Department of Public Health and the |
| 21 |
| Illinois Poison Advisory Board shall complete the study by |
| 22 |
| December 31, 2005 and shall present their findings to the |
| 23 |
| Illinois General Assembly for its consideration.
|
| 24 |
| Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon |
| 25 |
| becoming law.
