The proposed legislation, General Assembly Raised Bill No. 7233, aims to establish a dedicated "Parkinson's disease research account" within the Department of Public Health. This account will be a separate, nonlapsing fund that will receive any legally required deposits, including private donations, to support research into treatments for Parkinson's disease. The bill specifies that the funds in this account will be utilized by the Department of Public Health for research purposes.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $500,000 from the General Fund to be deposited into the Parkinson's disease research account for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The act is set to take effect upon passage for Section 1, while Section 2 will take effect on July 1, 2025. The overall purpose of the bill is to enhance funding and support for research initiatives targeting Parkinson's disease.
