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. | ||
