BILL NUMBER:S1238
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing
a tax credit for certain taxpayers who donate blood
PURPOSE OF THE BILL: Establishes a personal income tax credit for
taxpayers who donate blood to a blood bank four or more times in a
year.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of the bill amends section 606 of the tax law as it relates
to the allowance of credit for a taxpayer who donates blood four or
more times in a year to a blood bank. The taxpayer shall be eligible
for a tax credit of five hundred dollars.
JUSTIFICATION: This bill would encourage blood donations from New York
taxpayers and allow our blood banks to maintain an adequate level of
donations. Creating an incentive for people to regularly donate blood
will ensure that our blood supply will be maintained at an adequate
level. Blood banks often have a depleted supply of blood which places
the general public at risk if a high need arises.
