Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law and the state finance law, in relation to gifts for the support of congressional chartered veterans service organizations
Purpose or general idea of bill
To create a voluntary contribution on the state personal income tax return for congressional chartered veterans service organizations.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 adds section 630-d to the tax law, which creates the option to contribute to the congressional chartered veterans service organizations fund in New York State personal income tax returns.
Section 2 adds section 99-y to the state finance law, which creates the Veterans Service Organizations Fund.
Justification
Veterans are entitled to certain services. Accessing these services can be difficult, though. Congressional chartered Veterans' service organizations help cut through the red tape and connect veterans with the services that they have earned.
By allowing taxpayers to voluntarily contribute to the Veterans Service Organizations Fund, we are providing budget-neutral support to our veterans.
