AI Summary
This bill establishes the Child Victims Act Fund, which provides grant awards in reimbursement to public school districts and voluntary foster care agencies within New York State that have been named as defendants in certain child sexual abuse legal cases. The key provisions are that the fund can only be used to reimburse these entities if they have made a good-faith effort to locate an insurance policy that could cover the judgment or settlement, if there was a monetary judgment or settlement, and if paying the judgment or settlement would put a substantial burden on the district or agency's ability to execute its mission and negatively impact its existing student population. The bill also allows taxpayers to contribute to the fund through their state corporate and personal income tax returns.
