Provides for voluntary contributions by taxpayers on gross income tax returns to support public humanities programming in NJ.

This bill allows New Jersey taxpayers to voluntarily contribute a portion of their state income tax refund or make an additional payment when filing their returns to support public humanities programs. The contributions would go into a special fund managed by the Department of the Treasury, with administrative costs deducted before funds are deposited. The Legislature must annually appropriate these funds to the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, which will distribute grants to individuals and organizations for humanities programming across the state. It directly affects taxpayers who choose to participate and benefits humanities groups receiving grant funding.
