Sec. 6z-94. The Children's Wellness Charities Fund; creation. The Children's Wellness Charities Fund is created as a special fund in the State treasury. Moneys in the Fund shall be used by the Department of Human Services to make grants to public or private not-for-profit entities for the purpose of administering grants to children's health and well-being charities located in Illinois. For the purposes of this Section, "children's health and well-being charities" include, but are not limited to, charities that provide mobile care centers, free or low-cost lodging, or other services to assist children who are being treated for illnesses and their families.

For the purposes of this Section, "mobile care center" means any vehicle built specifically for delivering pediatric health care services. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to any other transfers that may be provided by law, on July 1, 2025, or as soon thereafter as practical, the State Comptroller shall direct and the State Treasurer shall transfer the remaining balance from the Children's Wellness Charities Fund into the Ronald McDonald House Charities Fund.

Upon completion of the transfers, the Children's Wellness Charities Fund is dissolved, and any future deposits due to that Fund and any outstanding obligations or liabilities of that Fund pass to the Ronald McDonald House Charities Fund.

This Section is repealed on January 1, 2026.
