OH HB426

Creates the breast and cervical cancer project income tax contribution fund in the state treasury to receive voluntary income tax refund contributions and direct donations.

Allows taxpayers claiming income tax refunds to designate any portion of their refund to contribute to the new breast and cervical cancer fund, in addition to existing funds (natural areas, wildlife, military injury relief, and Ohio historical society).

Directs the director of health to distribute contributed funds to the national breast and cervical cancer early detection program for screening, diagnostic, and outreach services for uninsured and underinsured women.

Requires contributed funds to first support services provided by local health departments, federally qualified health centers, and community health centers, with remaining funds available for other providers.

Modifies administrative cost sharing for the income tax refund contribution system to allocate one-fifth of costs to each of the five eligible funds, rather than one-fourth, and creates an income tax contribution administration fund.

Requires the director of health to report biennially to the general assembly on the effectiveness and expenditures of the breast and cervical cancer project income tax contribution system.
