Increases amount of cigarette and other tobacco products tax revenues provided to New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research to $10 million; establishes dedicated, non-lapsing Cancer Research Fund.
This bill increases New Jersey's annual allocation of cigarette and tobacco tax revenues to the Commission on Cancer Research from $1 million to $10 million. It establishes a dedicated, non-lapsing "Cancer Research Fund" within the state Treasury, ensuring these funds cannot be diverted to other uses. The fund must provide at least $5 million for general cancer research and at least $5 million specifically for pediatric cancer research, with all money used exclusively for commission-approved projects. The State Treasurer manages the fund, investing it like other state trust funds, and interest earned stays in the fund.
