Bill > S03372

This bill establishes a new voluntary donation system for uterine fibroids education through state tax returns. Specifically, the bill allows both corporate and individual taxpayers to make voluntary contributions to a newly created "uterine fibroids education fund" when filing their state tax returns. These donations will be in whole dollar amounts and will not reduce the taxpayer's tax liability. The fund will be jointly managed by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance and the State Comptroller, and will be used exclusively for uterine fibroids education projects as approved by the Department of Health. These educational projects can include grants for education programs targeting healthcare providers and the general public. The bill ensures that any money received during a fiscal year will be spent before the end of that year, and it also allows the state to accept additional grants, gifts, or bequests for the fund. The legislation aims to raise awareness and support education about uterine fibroids, which are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause significant health challenges for many individuals.
