§  82. Gifts to food banks fund. 1. There is hereby established in the
  sole custody of the commissioner of taxation and finance a special  fund
  to  be known as the "gifts to food banks fund". Monies in the fund shall
  be kept separate from and not commingled with other funds  held  in  the
  sole custody of the commissioner of taxation and finance.
2.  Such fund shall consist of all revenues received by the department
  of taxation and finance  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  section  six
  hundred  twenty-five-a  of the tax law and all other money appropriated,
  credited, or transferred thereto from any other fund or source  pursuant
  to  law.  Nothing in this section shall prevent the state from receiving
  grants, gifts or bequests for the purposes of the  fund  as  defined  in
  this section and depositing them into the fund according to law.
3.  Monies  of the fund shall, after appropriation by the legislature,
  be made available to the office of temporary and  disability  assistance
  for  grants  to regional food banks, organized to serve specific regions
  of the state, that generally collect and redistribute food donations  to
  organizations  serving persons in need. Monies shall be payable from the
  fund by the commissioner of taxation and finance on vouchers approved by
  the  commissioner  of   temporary   and   disability   assistance.   The
  commissioner  of  temporary  and  disability assistance shall promulgate
  rules and regulations necessary for the distribution of such grants.
4. To the extent  practicable,  the  commissioner  of  the  office  of
  temporary  and  disability  assistance  shall  ensure  that  all  monies
  received during a fiscal year are expended prior  to  the  end  of  that
  fiscal year.
