Provides for voluntary contributions by taxpayers on gross income tax returns to support public humanities programming in NJ.
This bill allows New Jersey taxpayers to voluntarily contribute a portion of their state income tax refund or make an additional payment when filing their tax return to support public humanities programming. The contributions would go into a new "New Jersey Council for the Humanities Fund" established within the Department of the Treasury. The state would deduct administrative costs from collected contributions before depositing the net amount into the fund. The Legislature would annually appropriate these funds to the New Jersey Council for the Humanities to provide grants for humanities programs across the state.
