     1    § 3. The state finance law is amended by adding a new section 97-bbbbb
     2  to read as follows:
     3    § 97-bbbbb. Uterine fibroids education fund. 1. There is hereby estab-
     4  lished  in the joint custody of the commissioner of taxation and finance
     5  and the comptroller, a special fund to be known as the "uterine fibroids
     6  education fund".
     7    2. Such fund shall consist of all revenues received by the  department
     8  of  taxation  and  finance,  pursuant  to  the provisions of section two
     9  hundred nine-Q and section six hundred thirty-l of the tax law, and  all
    10  other  moneys  appropriated,  credited  or  transferred thereto from any
    11  other fund or source pursuant to law. Nothing contained in this  section
    12  shall prevent the state from receiving grants, gifts or bequests for the
    13  purposes of the fund as defined in this section and depositing them into
    14  the fund according to law.
    15    3.  Monies  of  the  fund  shall be expended only for uterine fibroids
    16  education projects. As used in this section, "uterine fibroids education
    17  projects" means  educational  projects,  including  grants  for  uterine
    18  fibroids  education programs for health care providers and public, which

    22  of health.
    23    5. To the extent practicable, the commissioner of health shall  ensure
    24  that  all monies received during a fiscal year are expended prior to the
    25  end of that fiscal year.
    26    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
