 4 any tax year commencing on or after the effective date of this section,
 5 an individual in any taxable year may elect to contribute to the disa-

 7 dollar amount and shall not reduce the amount of state tax owed by such
 8 individual. The commissioner shall include space on the personal income
 9 tax return to enable a taxpayer to make such contribution. Notwith-
 10 standing any other provision of law all revenues collected pursuant to
 11 this section shall be credited to the disability care providers fund and
 12 used only for those purposes enumerated in section eighty-nine-l of the
 13 state finance law.
 14 § 2. The state finance law is amended by adding a new section 89-l to
 15 read as follows:
 16 § 89-l. Disability care providers fund. 1. There is hereby established
 17 in the joint custody of the commissioner of taxation and finance and the
 18 comptroller, a special fund to be known as the "disability care provid-
 19 ers fund".
 20 2. Such fund shall consist of all revenues received by the department
 21 of taxation and finance, pursuant to the provisions of section six
 22 hundred thirty-m of the tax law and all other moneys appropriated, cred-
 23 ited or transferred thereto from any other fund or source pursuant to
 24 law. Nothing in this section shall prevent the state from receiving
 25 grants, gifts or bequests for the purposes of the fund as defined in
 26 this section and depositing them into the fund according to law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
