**NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE TO
CONSIDER STEM CELL RESEARCH BILL
ON DECEMBER 12th**
In a few days, the New Jersey Legislature will consider legislation that will enable our State to take a groundbreaking -- and life-changing --step toward realizing the promise of stem cell research.
On Monday, December 12, 2005, the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee will consider S-2913, "The Stem Cell Research Bond Act" introduced by Acting Governor/Senate President Richard J. Codey. A companion bill, A-4499, has been introduced by Assemblyman Neil M. Cohen. These bills will allow a referendum to fund $350 million in stem cell research grants to be put before the voters in 2006.
The "Stem Cell Research Bond Act of 2005," authorizes the issuance of $350 million in State general obligation bonds for the purpose of financing the costs of providing stem cell research grants to eligible research institutions over seven years. The bill provides that the bond act is to be submitted to the people for approval at the general election to be held in November of 2006.
This bill represents an historic opportunity to advance what many believe to be the best hope for curing debilitating diseases and afflictions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, juvenile diabetes, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis and many others.
By lending your voice, you can help New Jersey seize this opportunity --and vigorously pursue the most promising medical advances of our generation.
