HB 1534 -- Life Sciences Research

Sponsor:  Lembke

This bill requires 25% of the funds received from subsequent
participating manufacturers in the Tobacco Settlement Agreement
that are deposited into the Life Sciences Research Trust Fund to
be expended by the Life Sciences Research Board.  The board is
required to spend 25% of the moneys in the trust fund for the
program that awards grants to establish and expand umbilical cord
blood banks.  The remaining 75% must fund life science research
projects involving the study, use, or therapies involving human
stem cells derived from non-embryonic and non-fetal sources.
