                                BILL NUMBER:S6384

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the state finance law, the tax law and
the public health law, in relation to establishing the New York state
prostate cancer research, detection and education fund; and to repeal
section 95-e of the state finance law relating thereto

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL:

This bill would repeal the enabling section of the state finance law
which has led to almost two million dollars directed to the New York
state prostate cancer research, detection and education fund via a tax
check off to not be distributed to any recipient organizations.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 repeals section 95-e of the state finance law, as added by
chapter 273 of the laws of 2004 and adds a new section 95-h that
establishes the "New York State Prostate Cancer Research, Detection,
and Education Fund."

(2)Provides revenue for the fund pursuant to provisions of section two
hundred nine-E and six hundred thirty of the tax law, all revenues
appropriated by the legislature, and all moneys appropriated,
credited, or transferred from any other fund pursuant to law. Also,
for each fiscal year, the state shall appropriate a fund, in addition

to all other moneys required to be deposited, an amount equal to the
amounts of moneys collected and deposited into the fund pursuant to
sections two hundred nine-E and six hundred thirty of the tax law
during the preceding calendar year, as certified by the comptroller.
States that nothing in this section shall prevent the state from
receiving gifts, grants or bequests for the purpose of the fund. Any
interest received by the comptroller on moneys on deposits shall be
retained and become part of such fund.

(3) Establishes the annual period by which the comptroller shall
certify to the governor, temporary president of the senate, sneaker of
the assembly, chair of the senate finance committee, and chair of
assembly ways and means committee, the amount of money deposited in
the fund during the previous year.

(4) Establishes guidelines relating to expenditures for "Prostate
cancer research, detection and education projects and provides
definitions for said expenditures.

(5) Establishes that monies shall be payable from the fund on the
audit and warrant of the comptroller on vouchers approved by the
commissioner of health.

(6) States that commissioner of health shall ensure that all monies
received are expended by the end of the fiscal year.

Section 2 Amends section 209-E of chapter 273 of the laws of 2004 by
establishing the process by which taxpayers may contribute to the
support of the New York State prostate cancer research, detection, and
education fund by space provided on the corporate income tax return,


provided that such contribution shall not reduce the amount of state
tax owed by such taxpayer.

Section 3 amends Section 630 of the tax law, as added by chapter 273
of the laws of 2004 by establishing the process by which taxpayers may
contribute to the support of the New York state prostate cancer
research, detection, and education fund by space provided on the
personal income tax return, provided that such contribution shall not
reduce the amount of state tax owed by such taxpayer.

Section 4 amends the opening paragraph of paragraph (k) of subdivision
1 of section 2807-v of the public health law, as amended by section 8
of part C of chapter 59 of the laws of 2011 by providing for the
transfer of five hundred thousand dollars on an annualized basis from
the health care services account, or any successor fund or account to
the New York state prostate cancer research, detection, and education
fund.

Section 5 states this act shall take effect immediately

JUSTIFICATION:

Since enabling legislation in 2004, New York taxpayers have been able
to donate money to prostate cancer research and education programs
through a tax check off.

New York taxpayers have generously donated $1.8 million through their
returns to aid the fight against prostate cancer, but researchers and
education programs - the intended recipients of the money - have not
received any funds. The prostate cancer research fund is one of eight
causes state residents can support through a check off on their tax
forms. However, unlike the other check offs, the legislation that
underpins the prostate cancer check off narrowly limits the funds to a
single non-profit.

A recent OSC audit shows the Prostate Cancer Fund has not yet paid out
money as of December 2012, leaving 51.8m in unused funds. According to
the audit, the fund managed by the comptroller is titled the "Prostate
and Testicular Cancer Research Fund which is not reflected in
legislation.  Funds are fed to the both the breast cancer check off
and the prostate cancer check from check off laws in the Tax Law. The
fund itself is created by State Finance Law Section 95-e which is the
root of the problem, and this legislation intends to fix. The breast
cancer check off, like the majority of other income tax check offs,
directs funds to a DOH administered fund, NOT a single not for profit
entity; particularly not one like the New York State Coalition to Cure
Prostate Cancer which according to recent press reports: "...did not
exist before 2004, the year the check off law passed, and the Internal
Revenue Service automatically revoked its federal tax-exempt status in
2011 for failing to submit required returns three years in a row."

The proposed legislation would bring the Prostate cancer check box in
line with the Breast Cancer check box which has two similar check box
enabling sections in the Tax law and a fund created by State Finance
Law Section 97-YY.
