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

represented in the General Assembly:

Section 5. The Poison Control System Act is amended by

adding Section 13 as follows:

(410 ILCS 47/13 new)

Sec. 13. Funding; study. To ensure the stability of funding

for the Illinois Poison Control System, the Department of

Public Health and the Illinois Poison Advisory Board shall

conduct a study to determine the feasibility of establishing a

formula that sets State goals for funding the System. As part

of the study, the Department of Public Health and the Illinois

Poison Advisory Board shall consider the adoption of a formula

of funding for the Illinois Poison Control System that

establishes a minimum threshold of funding set on a per capita

basis. Also, as part of the study, the Department of Public

Health and the Illinois Poison Advisory Board shall consider

the feasibility of implementing a separate source of funding

for the Illinois Poison Control System separate from the

General Revenue Fund. The Department of Public Health and the

Illinois Poison Advisory Board shall complete the study by

December 31, 2005 and shall present their findings to the

Illinois General Assembly for its consideration.

Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon

becoming law.
