Establishes the disability care providers fund
This bill creates a new Disability Care Providers Fund to support organizations that serve individuals with developmental disabilities. It allows New York state taxpayers to voluntarily contribute money to this fund by making an optional election on their personal income tax return, though these contributions do not reduce the amount of tax owed. All money raised through this process will be held in a special account and spent only on programs and services for disability care providers, with annual reports required to show how the funds are used.
