Income Tax Checkoff for Developmental Disability

SB318 / Crossfiled as HB830 (2010)

Establishing an income tax checkoff system for voluntary contributions to the Waiting List Equity Fund for services to individuals with developmental disabilities; requiring the Comptroller to collect and account for contributions made through the income tax checkoff system and to credit the proceeds to the Fund after deducting the amount necessary to administer the checkoff system; applying the Act to tax years after 2009; etc.

MASC Position:	For
Why?	This is a PROPOSED stance. Not yet approved Last year MASC supported the Arc of Maryland as its state charity. One issue the Arc taught us about was the long list of people with disabilities who need care that is unavailable to them. This bill would allow people to make contributions to a fund to help those on the waiting list through their income tax return form.
