AN ACT concerning State government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Lottery Law is amended by changing
Section 21.13 as follows:
(20 ILCS 1605/21.13)
Sec. 21.13. Scratch-off for Alzheimer's care, support,
education, and awareness.
(a) The Department shall offer a special instant
scratch-off game for the benefit of Alzheimer's care, support,
education, and awareness. The game shall commence on January
1, 2020 or as soon thereafter, at the discretion of the
Director, as is reasonably practical, and shall be
discontinued on January 1, 2022. The operation of the game
shall be governed by this Act and any rules adopted by the
Department. If any provision of this Section is inconsistent
with any other provision of this Act, then this Section
governs.
(b) The net revenue from the Alzheimer's care, support,
education, and awareness scratch-off game shall be deposited
into the Alzheimer's Awareness Fund.
Moneys received for the purposes of this Section,
including, without limitation, net revenue from the special

SB1741 - 2 - LRB102 04788 SMS 14807 b
instant scratch-off game and from gifts, grants, and awards
from any public or private entity, must be deposited into the
Fund. Any interest earned on moneys in the Fund must be
deposited into the Fund.
For the purposes of this subsection, "net revenue" means
the total amount for which tickets have been sold less the sum
of the amount paid out in the prizes and the actual
administrative expenses of the Department solely related to
the scratch-off game under this Section.
(c) During the time that tickets are sold for the
Alzheimer's care, support, education, and awareness
scratch-off game, the Department shall not unreasonably
diminish the efforts devoted to marketing any other instant
scratch-off lottery game.
(d) The Department may adopt any rules necessary to
implement and administer the provisions of this Section.
