Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Department of Human Services Act is amended |
by adding Section 10-8 as follows:
|
(20 ILCS 1305/10-8 new)
|
Sec. 10-8. The Autism Research Fund; grants; scientific |
review committee. The Autism Research Fund is created as a |
special fund in the State treasury. From appropriations to the |
Department from the Fund, the Department must make grants to |
public or private entities in Illinois for the purpose of |
funding research concerning the disorder of autism. For |
purposes of this Section, the term "research" includes, without |
limitation, expenditures to develop and advance the |
understanding, techniques, and modalities effective in the |
detection, prevention, screening, and treatment of autism and |
may include clinical trials. No more than 20% of the grant |
funds may be used for institutional overhead costs, indirect |
costs, other organizational levies, or costs of |
community-based support services. |
Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, |
including, without limitation, income tax checkoff receipts |
and gifts, grants, and awards from any public or private |
entity, must be deposited into the Fund. Any interest earned on |
moneys in the Fund must be deposited into the Fund. |
Each year, grantees of the grants provided under this |
Section must submit a written report to the Department that |
sets forth the types of research that is conducted with the |
grant moneys and the status of that research. |
The Department shall promulgate rules for the creation of a |
scientific review committee to review and assess applications |
for the grants authorized under this Section. The Committee |
|
shall serve without compensation.
|

changing Sections 509 and 510 and by adding Section 507EE as |
follows:

may do so by stating the |
amount of the contribution (not less

increase the amount of payment to
accompany the return. Failure |
to remit any amount of increased payment shall reduce the |
contribution accordingly. This Section does not apply to any |
amended return.
