BILL NUMBER:S5790
TITLE OF BILL:
An act

authorizing a tax check-off for gifts to food banks
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

supplement to those in need throughout New York State.

and the State Finance Law is amended by adding a new

food banks in New York State on their tax returns.
JUSTIFICATION:

not-for-profit organizations, religious groups and regional food
banks, we must ensure that these associations have the needed
