SB 1197 transfers from the Department of Health Services to the Arizona Disease Control Research Commission the authority to administer the Health Research Account.

History

Current law provides for monies in the Tobacco Tax and Health Care Fund (tobacco tax collections) to be transferred to four specific accounts including: 1) the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) Medically Needy Account; 2) the Department of Health Services (DHS) Health Education Account; 3) DHS Health Research Account (Account); and 4) the Department of Correction Corrections Fund.
