Bill > SB0276

This bill amends various sections of Utah law to expand the types of organizations that can be recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) or (19) of the Internal Revenue Code, which are organizations that are exempt from federal income taxation. Specifically, it allows organizations qualifying under Section 501(c)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code, which pertains to certain veterans' organizations, to be recognized alongside 501(c)(3) organizations in various contexts, including receiving donations from candidates with unknown anonymous contributions, being eligible for certain tax exemptions for religious or charitable institutions, receiving distributions from the Utah Housing Opportunity Restricted Account, acquiring federal surplus property, being considered a public purpose nonprofit entity, receiving grants as a nonprofit entity, and receiving funds for individual development accounts, qualified emergency food agencies, and from the sale of confiscated firearms. The bill also makes conforming changes to definitions and reporting requirements across different areas of law, such as campaign finance, housing, and public safety.
