and 29 of the tax law. Grants shall be provided at the discretion of the
commissioner of taxation and finance, upon application by the  governing

sales and compensating use taxes in businesses where such collection and
enforcement  is  difficult,  especially  businesses  in which many sales
transactions are paid for by customers in cash.
  S 2. The sum of five million dollars ($5,000,000), or so much  thereof
as  may  be necessary, is hereby appropriated to the department of taxa-
tion and finance out of any moneys in the state treasury in the  general
fund  to  the credit of the state purposes account, not otherwise appro-
priated and made immediately available to provide grants to counties  to
improve and assist collection of sales and compensating use taxes pursu-
ant  to  section  one  of  this act. Such moneys shall be payable on the
audit and warrant of the comptroller on vouchers certified  or  approved
by  the commissioner of taxation and finance in the manner prescribed by
law.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
