Enacts new GS 105-269.7 to allow an individual entitled to an income tax refund to elect to contribute all or part of the refund to the Cancer Prevention and Control Branch of the Division of Public Health of the Department of Health and Human Services (Branch) to support early detection of breast and cervical cancer. Requires that an explanation stating that the contributions will be used for early detection of breast and cervical cancer only be included in the income tax instructions. Directs the Secretary of Revenue to transmit all contributions to the State Treasurer, who will then distribute the funds to the Branch.
Clarifies that the funds generated by the income tax return election will supplement, and not replace, current appropriations for early detection of breast and cervical cancer.
Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
