    AN ACT concerning State government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Lottery Law is amended by changing
Section 21.5 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 1605/21.5)
    Sec. 21.5. Carolyn Adams Ticket For The Cure.
    (a) The Department shall offer a special instant
scratch-off game with the title of "Carolyn Adams Ticket For
The Cure". The game shall commence on January 1, 2006 or as
soon thereafter, in the discretion of the Director, as is
reasonably practical, and shall be discontinued on December 31,
2026 2016. The operation of the game shall be governed by this
Act and any rules adopted by the Department. The Department
must consult with the Carolyn Adams Ticket For The Cure Board,
which is established under Section 2310-347 of the Department
of Public Health Powers and Duties Law of the Civil
Administrative Code of Illinois, regarding the design and
promotion of the game. If any provision of this Section is
inconsistent with any other provision of this Act, then this
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
of Public Health for the purpose of making grants to public or
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.
