3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by adding | ||||||
5 | Sections 5.811 and 6z-93 as follows: | ||||||
6 | (30 ILCS 105/5.811 new) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 5.811. The Childhood Cancer Research Fund. | ||||||
8 | (30 ILCS 105/6z-93 new) | ||||||
9 | Sec. 6z-93. Childhood Cancer Research Fund; creation. The | ||||||
10 | Childhood Cancer Research Fund is created as a special fund in | ||||||
11 | the State treasury. Moneys in the fund shall be used by the | ||||||
12 | Department of Public Health to make grants to public or private | ||||||
13 | not-for-profit entities for the purpose of conducting | ||||||
14 | childhood cancer research. For the purposes of this Section, | ||||||
15 | "research" includes, but is not limited to, expenditures to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | develop and advance the understanding, techniques, and | ||||||
2 | modalities effective in early detection, prevention, cure, | ||||||
3 | screening, and treatment of childhood cancer and may include | ||||||
4 | clinical trials. The grant funds may not be used for | ||||||
5 | institutional overhead costs, indirect costs, other | ||||||
6 | organizational levies, or costs of community-based support | ||||||
7 | services. | ||||||
8 | Section 10. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by | ||||||
9 | adding Section 507AAA as follows: | ||||||
10 | (35 ILCS 5/507AAA new) | ||||||
11 | Sec. 507AAA. The Childhood Cancer Research Fund checkoff. | ||||||
12 | For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2012, the | ||||||
13 | Department shall print, on its standard individual income tax | ||||||
14 | form, a provision indicating that, if the taxpayer wishes to | ||||||
15 | contribute to the Childhood Cancer Research Fund, as authorized | ||||||
16 | by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, then he or | ||||||
17 | she may do so by stating the amount of the contribution (not | ||||||
18 | less than $1) on the return and indicating that the | ||||||
19 | contribution will reduce the taxpayer's refund or increase the | ||||||
20 | amount of payment to accompany the return. The taxpayer's | ||||||
21 | failure to remit any amount of the increased payment reduces | ||||||
22 | the contribution accordingly. This Section does not apply to | ||||||
23 | any amended return.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
