Sec. 21.7. Scratch-out Multiple Sclerosis scratch-off |
game. |
(a) The Department shall offer a special instant |
scratch-off game for the benefit of research pertaining to |
multiple sclerosis. The game shall commence on July 1, 2008 or |
as soon thereafter, in the discretion of the Director, as is |
reasonably practical. The operation of the game shall be |
governed by this Act and any rules adopted by the Department. |
If any provision of this Section is inconsistent with any other |
provision of this Act, then this Section governs.
|
(b) The Multiple Sclerosis Research Fund is created as a |
|
special fund in the State treasury. The net revenue from the |
scratch-out multiple sclerosis scratch-off game created under |
this Section shall be deposited into the Fund for appropriation |
by the General Assembly to the Department of Public Health for |
the purpose of making grants to organizations in Illinois that |
conduct research pertaining to the repair of damage caused by |
an acquired demyelinating disease of the central nervous |
system. |
Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, |
including, without limitation, net revenue from the special |
instant scratch-off game and from 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. |
For purposes of this Section, the term "research" includes,
|
without limitation, expenditures to develop and advance the
|
understanding, techniques, and modalities effective for
|
maintaining function, mobility, and strength through |
preventive physical therapy or other treatments and to develop
|
and advance the repair of myelin, neuron, and axon damage
|
caused by an acquired demyelinating disease of the central
|
nervous system and the restoration of function, including but
|
not limited to, nervous system repair or neuroregeneration. |
The
grant funds may not be used for institutional, |
organizational,
or community-based overhead costs, indirect |
costs, or levies. |
|
For purposes of this subsection, "net revenue" means the |
total amount for which tickets have been sold less the sum of |
the amount paid out in the prizes and the actual administrative |
expenses of the Department solely related to the scratch-off |
game under this Section. |
(c) During the time that tickets are sold for the |
scratch-out multiple sclerosis scratch-off game, the |
Department shall not unreasonably diminish the efforts devoted |
to marketing any other instant scratch-off lottery game. |
(d) The Department may adopt any rules necessary to |
implement and administer the provisions of this Section.
|
Section 10. The State Finance Act is amended by adding |
