      to certain participating manufacturers. Directs that
  7    funds received from the participating manufacturers be
      deposited in the Department of Banking and Finance
  8    Tobacco Settlement Clearing Trust Fund and that funds
      received from the assessments be deposited into the
  9    Lawton Chiles Endowment Fund. Provides for an
      appropriation to the Lawton Chiles Endowment Fund. (See
