Passed in the Senate (37 to 0) on December 13, 2006, to require the Department of Public Health to create a statewide network of (umbilical) cord blood stem cell banks. Under House Bill 6294, this would be funded by a $5 million earmark from the "21st Century Jobs Fund", a $400 million program that gives subsidies to public entities and private businesses engaged in various “competitive edge” projects chosen by government committees, in this case, by the legislature.
