Prohibiting a unit of State government or other State entity that provides State aid from providing State aid to a nonprofit entity unless the nonprofit is current with certain obligations under federal, State, and local law.
AI Summary
This bill establishes new requirements for state agencies, referred to as "grantors," when providing financial assistance, known as "state aid," to nonprofit organizations. State aid is defined as any contribution, grant, or subsidy from state funds. To receive this aid, a nonprofit entity must be in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service, be current on all federal, state, and local tax obligations, have a current charter on file with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation, and have filed the most recent required tax forms, such as IRS Form 990 or a personal property tax return, if applicable. These provisions are intended to ensure that state funds are distributed to well-managed and compliant nonprofit organizations.
