1 Section 8n of this Act, and (c), (d), or (e), notwithstanding
2 any other State law to the contrary, the Governor may, through
3 June 30, 2007, from time to time direct the State Treasurer and
4 Comptroller to transfer a specified sum from any fund held by
5 the State Treasurer to the General Revenue Fund in order to
6 help defray the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.
7 The total transfer under this Section from any fund in any
8 fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 8% of the
9 revenues to be deposited into the fund during that fiscal year
10 or (ii) an amount that leaves a remaining fund balance of 25%

15 determined by applying the formula authorized in Public Act
16 93-839 to the funds balances on July 1, 2003. No transfer may
17 be made from a fund under this Section that would have the
18 effect of reducing the available balance in the fund to an
19 amount less than the amount remaining unexpended and unreserved
20 from the total appropriation from that fund estimated to be
21 expended for that fiscal year. This Section does not apply to
22 any funds that are restricted by federal law to a specific use,
23 to any funds in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund, the Intercity
24 Passenger Rail Fund, the Hospital Provider Fund, the Medicaid

7     Section 15. The Phenylketonuria Testing Act is amended by
8 changing Sections 0.01 and 2 as follows:
 
9     (410 ILCS 240/0.01)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4902.9)
10     Sec. 0.01. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
11 Metabolic Disorder Phenylketonuria Testing Act.
12 (Source: P.A. 86-1324.)
 
13     (410 ILCS 240/2)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4904)
14     Sec. 2. The Department of Public Health shall administer
15 the provisions of this Act and shall:
16     (a) Institute and carry on an intensive educational program
17 among physicians, hospitals, public health nurses and the
18 public concerning the diseases phenylketonuria,
19 hypothyroidism, galactosemia and other metabolic diseases.
20 This educational program shall include information about the
21 nature of the diseases and examinations for the detection of
22 the diseases in early infancy in order that measures may be
23 taken to prevent the mental retardation resulting from the

 

 

09500SB1566ham001 - 7 - LRB095 10699 KBJ 35904 a

1 diseases.
2     (a-5) Beginning July 1, 2002, provide all newborns with
3 expanded screening tests for the presence of genetic,
4 endocrine, or other metabolic disorders, including
5 phenylketonuria, galactosemia, hypothyroidism, congenital
6 adrenal hyperplasia, biotinidase deficiency, and sickling
7 disorders, as well as other amino acid disorders, organic acid
8 disorders, fatty acid oxidation disorders, and other
9 abnormalities detectable through the use of a tandem mass
10 spectrometer. If by July 1, 2002, the Department is unable to
11 provide expanded screening using the State Laboratory, it shall
12 temporarily provide such screening through an accredited
13 laboratory selected by the Department until the Department has
14 the capacity to provide screening through the State Laboratory.
15 If expanded screening is provided on a temporary basis through
16 an accredited laboratory, the Department shall substitute the
17 fee charged by the accredited laboratory, plus a 5% surcharge
18 for documentation and handling, for the fee authorized in
19 subsection (e) of this Section.
20     (a-6) In accordance with the timetable specified in this
21 subsection, provide all newborns with expanded screening tests
22 for the presence of certain Lysosomal Storage Disorders known
23 as Krabbe, Pompe, Gaucher, Fabry, and Niemann-Pick. The testing
24 shall begin within 6 months following the occurrence of all of
25 the following:
26         (i) the registration with the federal Food and Drug

 

 

09500SB1566ham001 - 8 - LRB095 10699 KBJ 35904 a

1     Administration of the necessary reagents;
2         (ii) the availability of the necessary reagents from
3     the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;
4         (iii) the availability of quality assurance testing
5     methodology for these processes; and
6         (iv) the acquisition and installment by the Department
7     of the equipment necessary to implement the expanded
8     screening tests.
9     It is the goal of this amendatory Act of the 95th General
10 Assembly that the expanded screening for the specified
11 Lysosomal Storage Disorders begins within 3 years after the
12 effective date of this Act. The Department is authorized to
13 implement an additional fee for the screening prior to
14 beginning the testing in order to accumulate the resources for
15 start-up and other costs associated with implementation of the
16 screening and thereafter to support the costs associated with
17 screening and follow-up programs for the specified Lysosomal
18 Storage Disorders.
19     (b) Maintain a registry of cases including information of
20 importance for the purpose of follow-up services to prevent
21 mental retardation.
22     (c) Supply the necessary metabolic treatment formulas
23 product where practicable for diagnosed cases of amino acid
24 metabolism disorders, including phenylketonuria, organic acid
25 and fatty acid oxidation disorders for as long as medically
26 indicated, when the product is not available through other

 

 

09500SB1566ham001 - 9 - LRB095 10699 KBJ 35904 a

1 State agencies.
2     (d) Arrange for or provide public health nursing, nutrition
3 and social services and clinical consultation as indicated.
4     (e) Require that all specimens collected pursuant to this
5 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder be
6 submitted for testing to the nearest Department of Public
7 Health laboratory designated to perform such tests. The
8 Department may develop a reasonable fee structure and may levy
9 fees according to such structure to cover the cost of providing
10 this testing service. Fees collected from the provision of this
11 testing service shall be placed in a special fund in the State
12 Treasury, hereafter known as the Metabolic Screening and
13 Treatment Fund. Other State and federal funds for expenses
14 related to metabolic screening, follow-up and treatment
15 programs may also be placed in such Fund. Moneys shall be
16 appropriated from such Fund to the Department of Public Health
17 solely for the purposes of providing metabolic screening,
18 follow-up and treatment programs. Nothing in this Act shall be
19 construed to prohibit any licensed medical facility from
20 collecting additional specimens for testing for metabolic or
21 neonatal diseases or any other diseases or conditions, as it
22 deems fit. Any person violating the provisions of this
23 subsection (e) is guilty of a petty offense.
