        AN ACT to amend the tax law, in  relation  to  designated  accounts  for
          personal income tax refunds

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision (c) of section 3013 of the tax law, as added by
     2  chapter 479 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
     3    (c) (1) In the event that  the  commissioner  elects  to  implement  a
     4  program  providing for payment of personal income tax refunds by prepaid
     5  debit card or direct deposit to [a] designated [account] accounts of the
     6  taxpayer, the department shall amend the forms  used  to  file  personal
     7  income  tax  returns to reflect, in the area designated for selection of
     8  options for processing of refunds, that the taxpayer has the  option  of
     9  receiving  his  or  her tax refund by personal check and shall provide a
    10  box which the taxpayer may check to select that option.
    11    (2) Designated accounts include but are not limited to,  up  to  three
    12  accounts  with  financial  institutions  that  have  routing and account
    13  numbers and are held in the names of  the  taxpayer's  spouse  or  joint
    14  account.  Designated  accounts  held  in  one  spouse's name may receive
    15  personal income tax refunds from a married filing joint return.
    16    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately, provided,  however,  that
    17  the amendments to subdivision (c) of section 3013 of the tax law made by
    18  section  one of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and
    19  shall be deemed repealed therewith.
