42 (b) Except as provided in paragraphs (c)-(f) (c), (d), and
43 (e), the Legislature shall equitably apportion moneys in the
44 trust fund among public schools, community colleges, and
45 universities.
46 (f) The department shall split evenly the net revenue
47 received under s. 24.132 between public or private universities
48 located in this state which have medical research facilities or
49 which are associated with medical research facilities, and
50 direct service providers. The moneys shall be used for the
51 purposes of funding breast cancer research and providing
52 services for low-income, uninsured individuals who have breast
53 cancer. The funds may not be used for institutional,
54 organizational, or community-based overhead costs, indirect
55 costs, or levies. If services, equipment, or supplies are
56 provided by a direct service provider, the funds must be used to
57 pay for the services, equipment, or supplies based on the
58 Medicare fee schedule or the fee schedule resulting in the
59 lowest cost to the state. A direct service provider must provide
60 a continuum of care. As used in this paragraph, the term:

65 tracks patients over time through a comprehensive array of
66 health services spanning all levels and intensity of care.

69 24.132 Ticket for the Cure.—
70 (1) The department shall offer a special instant lottery
71 game called “Ticket for the Cure.” The game shall commence on
72 January 1, 2016, and shall be discontinued on December 31, 2021.
73 While instant lottery tickets are sold for the Ticket for the
74 Cure lottery game, the department may not unreasonably diminish
75 the efforts devoted to marketing other instant lottery games.
76 (2) The department shall allocate the net revenue from the
77 Ticket for the Cure lottery game pursuant to s. 24.121(5)(f) for
78 the purposes of funding breast cancer research and providing
79 services for low-income, uninsured individuals who have breast
80 cancer. The funds may not be used for institutional,
81 organizational, or community-based overhead costs, indirect
82 costs, or levies. The funds generated under this section may not
83 supplant those funds otherwise appropriated for breast cancer
84 research by this state. As used in this subsection, the term:
85 (a) “Net revenue” means the total amount of moneys received
86 for instant lottery tickets that have been sold, less the sum of
87 the amount paid out in prizes and the actual administrative
88 expenses of the department related solely to the Ticket for the
89 Cure lottery game.
90 (b) “Research” includes, but is not limited to,
91 expenditures to develop and advance the understanding,
92 techniques, and modalities that are effective in the detection,
93 screening, prevention, and treatment of breast cancer, including
94 clinical trials.

104 screening and early detection purposes from the federal Centers
105 for Disease Control and Prevention under Title XV of the Public
106 Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. ss. 300k et seq and through the
107 appropriation of funds under the General Appropriations Act
108 which must match the federal funds provided for screening and
109 early detection purposes.
110 Section 4. This act shall take effect July 1, 2015.
