Provides for voluntary contributions for taxpayers on gross income tax returns to support nonprofit organizations providing pro-life information and services.
This bill creates a voluntary option on New Jersey's gross income tax returns allowing taxpayers to contribute a portion of their refund or make an additional payment to a new "New Jersey Access to Pro-Life Information and Services Fund." The fund, managed by the Department of the Treasury, collects these contributions and transfers them annually to the Department of Health for grants. These grants support nonprofit organizations providing specific services defined as "pro-life information and services," including pregnancy counseling, adoption support, and family assistance programs. The contributions are entirely voluntary, with no tax deduction or obligation for taxpayers.
