6 If any provision of this Section is inconsistent with any other
7 provision of this Act, then this Section governs.
8     (b) The Multiple Sclerosis Research Fund is created as a
9 special fund in the State treasury. The net revenue from the
10 scratch-out multiple sclerosis scratch-off game created under
11 this Section shall be deposited into the Fund for appropriation

13 the purpose of making grants to organizations in Illinois that
14 conduct research pertaining to the repair of damage caused by
15 an acquired demyelinating disease of the central nervous
16 system.
17     Moneys received for the purposes of this Section,
18 including, without limitation, net revenue from the special
19 instant scratch-off game and from gifts, grants, and awards
20 from any public or private entity, must be deposited into the
21 Fund. Any interest earned on moneys in the Fund must be
22 deposited into the Fund.
23     For purposes of this Section, the term "research" includes,
24 without limitation, expenditures to develop and advance the
25 understanding, techniques, and modalities effective for
26 maintaining function, mobility, and strength through

 

 

09500SB0764sam002 - 4 - LRB095 05414 BDD 34403 a

1 preventive physical therapy or other treatments and to develop

12 game under this Section.
13     (c) During the time that tickets are sold for the

4 any other State law to the contrary, the Governor may, through
5 June 30, 2007, from time to time direct the State Treasurer and
6 Comptroller to transfer a specified sum from any fund held by
7 the State Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to
8 help defray the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.

18 93-839 to the funds balances on July 1, 2003. No transfer may
19 be made from a fund under this Section that would have the

21 amount less than the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved
22 from the total appropriation from that fund estimated to be
23 expended for that fiscal year. This Section does not apply to

14 of this Section, for fiscal year 2004, the total transfer under
15 this Section from the Road Fund or the State Construction
16 Account Fund shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 5% of the
17 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year
