IA SF2344

Creates a Parkinson's Disease Prevention, Research, and Care Fund in the state treasury, with unspent moneys rolling over each fiscal year rather than reverting to the general fund.

Authorizes grants to public and private entities, including state Board of Regents institutions, for Parkinson's disease research, prevention strategies, and caregiver support programs including respite care, training, and mental health resources.

Establishes a permanent Neurodegenerative Disease Advisory Council to advise on grant applications, award criteria, and development of a state plan addressing Parkinson's disease as the primary focus.

Requires annual reports from grant recipients detailing research progress and program outcomes, and mandates the department submit an annual report to the governor and legislature by January 31 each year.

Directs the department to develop and periodically revise a state plan addressing neurodegenerative diseases, including prevalence estimates, demographic data, and short-term and long-term prevention goals.
