Bill Summary

With the exception of religious organizations and schools, tax exempt organizations that raise funds are subject to the payment of fees under the State's "Charitable Registration and Investigation Act." Fees are based on the level of funds raised by the organization. For example, a volunteer fire company that raises between $100,000 and $500,000 in contributions would pay $150 in fees. Organizations which raise $25,000 or less are exempt from fees. This bill would exempt volunteer fire companies from payment of these fees. Roughly 750 fire organizations, which pay fees totaling approximately $52,000, would benefit.
