(1) There is hereby created in the State Treasury a cancer research matching fund

designated as the "cancer research institutions matching fund." The fund shall be

administered by the Council for Postsecondary Education. For tax periods

beginning on or after June 1, 2005, the one-cent ($0.01) surtax collected under KRS

138.140(1)(c) shall be deposited in the fund and shall be made available for

matching purposes to the following universities for cancer research:

the University of Kentucky; and

eligible for state match. Newly generated contributions are those received by the

university after April 1, 2005.

appropriated for purposes set forth in this section.
