143.1009. Breast cancer awareness trust fund, designation of tax refund permitted — director's duties — sunset provision. —
1. In each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2008, each individual or corporation entitled to a tax refund in an amount sufficient to make a designation under this section may designate that one dollar or any amount in excess of one dollar on a single return, and two dollars or any amount in excess of two dollars on a combined return, of the refund due be credited to the breast cancer awareness trust fund, hereinafter referred to as the trust fund. If any individual or corporation that is not entitled to a tax refund in an amount sufficient to make a designation under this section wishes to make a contribution to the trust fund, such individual or corporation may, by separate check, draft, or other negotiable instrument, send in with the payment of taxes, or may send in separately, that amount, clearly designated for the breast cancer awareness trust fund, the individual or corporation wishes to contribute. The department of revenue shall deposit such amount to the trust fund as provided in subsections 2 and 3 of this section. All moneys credited to the trust fund shall be considered nonstate funds under the provisions of Article IV, Section 15 of the Missouri Constitution.
2. The director of revenue shall deposit at least monthly all contributions designated by individuals under this section to the state treasurer for deposit to the trust fund.

4. A contribution designated under this section shall only be deposited in the trust fund after all other claims against the refund from which such contribution is to be made have been satisfied.
5. All moneys transferred to the trust fund shall be distributed by the director of revenue at times the director deems appropriate to the department of health and senior services. Such funds shall be used solely for the purpose of providing breast cancer services. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 33.080 to the contrary, moneys in the trust fund at the end of any biennium shall not be transferred to the credit of the general revenue fund.
6. There is hereby created in the state treasury the "Breast Cancer Awareness Trust Fund", which shall consist of money collected under this section. The state treasurer shall be custodian of the fund. In accordance with sections 30.170 and 30.180, the state treasurer may approve disbursements.
