The Committee on Regulated Industries (Margolis) recommended the
following:
1 Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
2
3 Delete lines 33 - 69
4 and insert:
5 (f) The department shall split evenly the net revenue
6 received under s. 24.132 between public or private universities
7 located in this state which have medical research facilities or
8 which are associated with medical research facilities, and
9 direct service providers. The moneys shall be used for the
10 purposes of funding breast cancer research and providing
11 services for low-income, uninsured individuals who have breast
12 cancer. The funds may not be used for institutional,
13 organizational, or community-based overhead costs, indirect
14 costs, or levies. If services, equipment, or supplies are
15 provided by a direct service provider, the funds must be used to
16 pay for the services, equipment, or supplies based on the
17 Medicare fee schedule or the fee schedule resulting in the
18 lowest cost to the state. A direct service provider must provide
19 a continuum of care. As used in this paragraph, the term:
20 1. “Direct service provider” means a nonuniversity
21 organization that provides care directly to an individual who
22 seeks services related to breast cancer.
23 2. “Continuum of care” means a system that guides and
24 tracks patients over time through a comprehensive array of
25 health services spanning all levels and intensity of care.
26 Section 2. Section 24.132, Florida Statutes, is created to
27 read:
28 24.132 Ticket for the Cure.—
29 (1) The department shall offer a special instant lottery
30 game called “Ticket for the Cure.” The game shall commence on
31 January 1, 2016, and shall be discontinued on December 31, 2021.
32 While instant lottery tickets are sold for the Ticket for the
33 Cure lottery game, the department may not unreasonably diminish
34 the efforts devoted to marketing other instant lottery games.
35 (2) The department shall allocate the net revenue from the
36 Ticket for the Cure lottery game pursuant to s. 24.121(5)(f) for
37 the purposes of funding breast cancer research and providing
38 services for low-income, uninsured individuals who have breast
39 cancer. The funds may not be used for institutional,
40 organizational, or community-based overhead costs, indirect
41 costs, or levies. The funds generated under this section may not
42 supplant those funds otherwise appropriated for breast cancer
43 research by this state. As used in this subsection, the term:
44 (a) “Net revenue” means the total amount of moneys received
45 for instant lottery tickets that have been sold, less the sum of
46 the amount paid out in prizes and the actual administrative
47 expenses of the department related solely to the Ticket for the
48 Cure lottery game.
49 (b) “Research” includes, but is not limited to,
50 expenditures to develop and advance the understanding,
51 techniques, and modalities that are effective in the detection,
52 screening, prevention, and treatment of breast cancer, including
53 clinical trials.
54 (3) The department may adopt rules to administer this
55 section.
56 Section 3. Subsection (3) of section 381.93, Florida
57 Statutes, is amended to read:
58 381.93 Breast and cervical cancer early detection program.
59 This section may be cited as the “Mary Brogan Breast and
60 Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program Act.”
61 (3) The Mary Brogan Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
62 Detection Program shall be funded through grants for such
63 screening and early detection purposes from the federal Centers
64 for Disease Control and Prevention under Title XV of the Public
65 Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. ss. 300k et seq and through the
66 appropriation of funds under the General Appropriations Act
67 which must match the federal funds provided for screening and
68 early detection purposes.
