Section 1.  There is hereby appropriated to the Board of Higher Education, out of the General Fund of the State, the sum of $12,500 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1971, and the sum of $12,500 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1972, these sums to be used for the education of physicians and dentists at Meharry Medical College supplementing funds appropriated for the State's participation in the Southern Regional Education Board's program.

Sec. 3.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.
