soon thereafter, in the discretion of the Director, as is | ||||

which is established under Section 2310-347 of the Department | ||||
of Public Health Powers and Duties Law of the

Section governs. | ||||
(b) The Carolyn Adams Ticket For The Cure Grant Fund is | ||||
created as a special fund in the State treasury. The net |
revenue from the Carolyn Adams Ticket For The Cure special | ||
instant scratch-off game shall be deposited into the Fund for | ||
appropriation by the General Assembly solely to the Department | ||

private entities in Illinois for the purpose of funding breast | ||
cancer research, and supportive services for breast cancer | ||
survivors and those impacted by breast cancer and breast cancer | ||
education. In awarding grants, the Department of Public Health | ||
shall consider criteria that includes, but is not limited to, | ||
projects and initiatives that address disparities in incidence | ||
and mortality rates of breast cancer, based on data from the | ||
Illinois Cancer Registry, and populations facing barriers to | ||
care. The Department of Public Health shall, before grants are | ||
awarded, provide copies of all grant applications to the | ||
Carolyn Adams Ticket For The Cure Board, receive and review the | ||
Board's recommendations and comments, and consult with the | ||
Board regarding the grants. 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 breast cancer and may include clinical trials. | ||
The grant funds may not be used for institutional, | ||
organizational, or community-based overhead costs, indirect | ||
costs, or levies. | ||
Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, | ||
including, without limitation, net revenue from the special |
instant scratch-off game 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. | ||
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 prizes and the actual administrative | ||
expenses of the Department solely related to the Ticket For The | ||
Cure game. | ||
(c) During the time that tickets are sold for the Carolyn | ||
Adams Ticket For The Cure 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.
