Bill > HB07233

This bill establishes a dedicated "Parkinson's disease research account" as a separate, nonlapsing state fund to support medical research into Parkinson's disease treatments. The account will be managed by the Department of Public Health and can receive both public funds required by law and private donations. By creating this specialized account, the bill aims to provide a consistent and focused funding mechanism for Parkinson's disease research, allowing the state to collect and allocate resources specifically for advancing scientific understanding and potential treatments for this neurological disorder. The account will go into effect immediately upon passage, and the Commissioner of Public Health will have the authority to accept and deposit private donations into the fund, which can then be used to support research initiatives aimed at improving Parkinson's disease treatment options.
