The bill establishes a special fund in the Department of the Treasury, to be known as the "United Way of New Jersey Fund," to which all donations collected from voluntary contributions are deposited.

AI Summary
This bill allows New Jersey taxpayers to voluntarily contribute to the United Way of New Jersey directly on their gross income tax returns, either by designating a portion of their tax refund or by including a separate contribution. These collected donations will be deposited into a newly established special fund within the Department of the Treasury called the "United Way of New Jersey Fund." After any administrative costs incurred by the Division of Taxation are deducted, the remaining funds will be appropriated by the Legislature and distributed equally to each United Way organization operating within the state to support their programs and services.
