        AN ACT to amend the tax law and the state finance law,  in  relation  to
          gifts to the housing assistance fund
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. The tax law is amended by adding a  new  section  630-f  to
     2  read as follows:
     3    §  630-f.  Gift to the housing assistance fund.  Effective for any tax
     4  year commencing on or after January first,  two  thousand  eighteen,  an
     5  individual  may  elect  to contribute to the housing assistance fund for
     6  homeless housing projects. Such contributions  shall  be  in  any  whole
     7  dollar  amount and shall not reduce the amount of tax owed by such indi-
     8  vidual. The commissioner shall include space on the personal income  tax
     9  return  to  enable a taxpayer to make such contribution. Notwithstanding
    10  any other provision of law, all  revenues  collected  pursuant  to  this
    11  section,  shall be credited to the housing assistance fund and used only
    12  for those purposes enumerated  in  section  ninety-two-q  of  the  state
    13  finance law.
    14    §  2. Subdivision 3 of section 92-q of the state finance law, as added
    15  by chapter 261 of the laws of 1988, is amended and  three  new  subdivi-
    16  sions 5, 6 and 7 are added to read as follows:
    17    3.  Moneys  of  the  fund may be invested by the state comptroller and
    18  income from such investments shall  be  credited  to  the  general  fund
    19  provided,  however,  that income from the investment of moneys deposited
    20  to this fund pursuant to section six hundred thirty-f  of  the  tax  law
    21  shall be credited solely to this fund and not to the general fund.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD01104-03-8

    15  tee,  chair  of  the  assembly  housing  committee, and the public. Such
