Sponsor's memo

BILL NUMBER:S3090A

Title of bill

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing a tax credit for certain taxpayers who donate blood

Purpose of the bill

Establishes a personal income tax credit for taxpayers who donate blood to a blood bank four or more times in a year.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 of the bill amends section 606 of the tax law as it relates to the allowance of credit for a taxpayer who donates blood four or more times in a year to a blood bank. The taxpayer shall be eligible for a tax credit of five hundred dollars.

Justification

This bill would encourage blood donations from New York taxpayers and allow our blood banks to maintain an adequate level of donations. Creating an incentive for people to regularly donate blood will ensure that our blood supply will be maintained at an adequate level. Blood banks often have a depleted supply of blood which places the general public at risk if a high need arises.
