 AN ACT to amend a chapter of the laws of 2019 amending the tax  law  and
   the  state  finance  law  relating to gifts for the support of the New
   York state council on the  arts,  as  proposed  in  legislative  bills

   corrections thereto
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 1 of a chapter of the laws of 2019 amending the tax
 law  and  the state finance law relating to gifts for the support of the
 New York state council on the arts, as  proposed  in  legislative  bills
 numbers S. 3570 and A. 7994, is amended to read as follows:
   Section  1.  [The legislature hereby finds and determines that, due to
 severe budgetary constraints, the amount of state  funds  available  for
 the  support  of the New York state council on the arts has been sharply
 diminished over the past few years.  This decrease in support has had  a
 devastating  effect  upon  many  of New York's cultural institutions, as
 well as many related or dependent businesses and employees. Accordingly,
 the] THE legislature hereby finds and determines that taxpayers  of  the
 state  of New York should have the opportunity to use the New York state
 personal income tax form as a mechanism for  making  voluntary  contrib-
 utions  for the support of the New York state council on the arts. It is
 the intent of the  legislature  that  any  funds  so  contributed  shall
 supplement  and  not  offset  or diminish in any way the amount of funds
 made available to the New York state council on  the  arts  pursuant  to
 annual budget appropriations.
   §  2.  This  act  shall  take  effect on the same date and in the same
 manner as a chapter of the laws of 2019 amending the  tax  law  and  the
 state  finance  law  relating  to  gifts for the support of the New York
 state council on the arts, as proposed in legislative bills  numbers  S.
 3570 and A. 7994, takes effect.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
