Bill > S00608

This bill creates the Rescued Animals Spay and Neuter Fund, which allows taxpayers to voluntarily contribute to the fund through a check-off box on their state income tax returns. The fund will be used to support the implementation and regulation of the spay and neuter provisions outlined in the Agriculture and Markets Law. The bill requires the Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets to provide an annual report detailing how the fund's monies were utilized during the preceding year, including the amount of disbursements, the recipients, the purposes of the awards, and a summary financial plan.
