        AN  ACT  to  amend the tax law and the state finance law, in relation to

          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 625-a to
     2  read as follows:
     3    § 625-a. Gifts to food banks. Effective for any taxable year  commenc-
     4  ing  on  or after January first, two thousand nineteen, an individual in
     5  any taxable year may elect to contribute to  the  state  gifts  to  food
     6  banks  fund for financial support for regional food banks. Such contrib-
     7  ution shall be in any whole dollar  amount  and  shall  not  reduce  the
     8  amount  of  state  tax  owed  by such individual. The commissioner shall
     9  include space on the personal income tax return to enable a taxpayer  to
    10  make  such  contribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of law all
    11  revenues collected pursuant to this section shall  be  credited  to  the
    12  gifts  to food banks fund and used only for those purposes enumerated in
    13  section eighty-two of the state finance law.
    14    § 2. The state finance law is amended by adding a new  section  82  to
    15  read as follows:
    16    §  82. Gifts to food banks fund. 1. There is hereby established in the
    17  sole custody of the commissioner of taxation and finance a special  fund
    18  to  be known as the "gifts to food banks fund". Monies in the fund shall
    19  be kept separate from and not commingled with other funds  held  in  the
    20  sole custody of the commissioner of taxation and finance.
    21    2.  Such fund shall consist of all revenues received by the department
    22  of taxation and finance  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  section  six

                                                                   LBD08794-02-8

     2  credited, or transferred thereto from any other fund or source  pursuant
     3  to  law.  Nothing in this section shall prevent the state from receiving
     4  grants,  gifts  or  bequests  for the purposes of the fund as defined in
     5  this section and depositing them into the fund according to law.
     6    3. Monies of the fund shall, after appropriation by  the  legislature,
     7  be  made  available to the office of temporary and disability assistance
     8  for grants to regional food banks, organized to serve  specific  regions
     9  of  the state, that generally collect and redistribute food donations to
    10  organizations serving persons in need. Monies shall be payable from  the
    11  fund by the commissioner of taxation and finance on vouchers approved by

    13  er  of  temporary  and  disability assistance shall promulgate rules and
    14  regulations necessary for the distribution of such grants.
    15    4. To the extent practicable, the commissioner of the office of tempo-
    16  rary and disability assistance shall ensure  that  all  monies  received
    17  during a fiscal year are expended prior to the end of that fiscal year.
