BILL NUMBER:A10070 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law and the state finance law, in relation to allowing taxpayers to contribute to the tuition assist- ance program on personal income tax returns PURPOSE OF GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To create a pathway for New York State taxpayers to make a contribution through their income tax returns to the tuition assistance program (TAP). SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC: Section Part 2 of article 22 of the tax law is amended by adding a new section 630-b. This Section would allow for a contribution to (TAP)and amend the New York State tax forms for such a contribution. Section 2 of the bill adds a new section 80 to allow for the New York State Comptroller to set up a special fund for TAP contrib- utions and be delivered to the Education Department. EXISTING LAW:; Not applicable. JUSTIFICATION: The Tuition Assistance Program is a valuable necessity to our students in New York State. Allowing for New York State taxpayers and residents the ability to contribute to this fund would strengthen its own revenue as well as the New York State Budget. In a time where education is fragile but so badly depended on, now is not the time to cut our educational programs. Studies show that our student's bachelor degrees now have the equivalency of what a high school diploma did 25
