Bill > SB0276

This bill amends several sections of Utah law to allow organizations exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) or (19) of the Internal Revenue Code to be eligible for certain provisions, particularly concerning campaign finance reporting and the disbursement of anonymous contributions. Specifically, it expands the types of organizations that can receive anonymous contributions exceeding $50, allowing these funds to be donated to Section 501(c)(19) organizations, which are typically for war veterans, in addition to existing 501(c)(3) organizations. The bill also updates definitions and eligibility criteria across various sections related to campaign finance, including those for municipal, county, state, legislative, school board, and judicial offices, as well as for political action committees and political issues committees, to include these Section 501(c)(19) organizations. Additionally, it makes conforming changes in sections related to conservation easements, sales tax exemptions for religious or charitable institutions, housing opportunity funds, federal surplus property distribution, property transfers for public purpose nonprofit entities, grants to nonprofit entities, and definitions of charitable and nonprofit organizations.
