print, on its standard individual income tax form, a provision
indicating that, if the taxpayer wishes to contribute to the
State Parks Fund, as authorized by this amendatory Act of the

amount of the contribution (not less than $1) on the return and
indicating that the contribution will reduce the taxpayer's
refund or increase the amount of payment to accompany the
return. The taxpayer's failure to remit any amount of the
