Bill > A10252

This bill establishes the "disability care providers fund" and allows taxpayers to voluntarily contribute to it through their personal income tax returns, with the option to donate any whole dollar amount that will not reduce their tax liability. All funds collected will be deposited into this special fund and used exclusively for disability care providers, defined as those providing services under section 1.03 of the mental hygiene law, with expenditures overseen by the commissioner of the New York state office for people with developmental disabilities. The bill also mandates annual reporting by the comptroller on fund deposits and by the office for people with developmental disabilities on how the money was disbursed, including recipients and purposes, to ensure transparency and accountability in supporting disability care services.
