    Sec. 13. Funding; study. To ensure the stability of funding
for the Illinois Poison Control System, the Department of
Public Health and the Illinois Poison Advisory Board shall
conduct a study to determine the feasibility of establishing a
formula that sets State goals for funding the System. As part

establishes a minimum threshold of funding set on a per capita
basis. Also, as part of the study, the Department of Public
Health and the Illinois Poison Advisory Board shall consider
the feasibility of implementing a separate source of funding
for the Illinois Poison Control System separate from the
General Revenue Fund. The Department of Public Health and the
Illinois Poison Advisory Board shall complete the study by
December 31, 2005 and shall present their findings to the
Illinois General Assembly for its consideration.
