AI Summary
This bill establishes a process to monitor a proprietary institution (a for-profit college) that converts to a nonprofit corporation. The bill requires the institution to annually submit its Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 990 (a tax return for tax-exempt organizations) to the New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education for five years after the conversion. The secretary must review the Form 990 to ensure there are no incidents of "private inurement," which refers to the use of a nonprofit's assets for the private benefit of an individual. If the secretary finds a reportable incident, they can recommend to the Secretary of State that the institution's nonprofit status be revoked.
