intestine. Ulcerative colitis is characterized by in-
flammation and ulceration of the innermost lining of
the colon. Because Crohn’s disease and ulcerative co-
litis behave similarly, they are collectively known as
inflammatory bowel disease. Both diseases present a
variety of symptoms, including severe diarrhea,
crampy abdominal pain, fever, and rectal bleeding.
There is no known cause of inflammatory bowel dis-
ease, or medical cure.
(2) It is estimated that up to 1,000,000 people
in the United States suffer from inflammatory bowel
disease.
(3) In 1990, the total annual medical costs for
Crohn’s 
disease 
patients 
was 
estimated 
at
$1,000,000,000 to $1,200,000,000.

crop year, the tobacco production history of the his-
toric tobacco producer for that type of tobacco in a
county shall be equal to the 2002 marketing and ef-
fective quota of that type tobacco produced by the

historic production of that type of tobacco.
(4) CONSOLIDATION OF COUNTIES.—If the ini-

historic tobacco producer for a type of tobacco would
result in the producer receiving a license for that
type of tobacco for more than one county, the pro-
ducer may elect to consolidate the licenses in a sin-
during the calendar year immediately preceding the
year of such assessment.
