Bill > SB2651

This bill appropriates $300,000 from the Illinois General Revenue Fund to the Department of Public Health specifically to provide grants to the Les Turner ALS Foundation for research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing muscle weakness and eventual loss of muscle control. The funding is designated to support scientific research aimed at understanding and potentially treating ALS, which is also commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The bill specifies that the full amount of $300,000 or a portion thereof may be used for these research grants, and the appropriation will become effective on July 1, 2025, providing a clear timeline for the allocation of these research funds.
