Bill > A507

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to exempt volunteer fire companies from the requirement to register with the state for charitable fundraising purposes. Currently, many organizations that solicit donations must register and pay fees, but this bill adds a new provision that specifically exempts any volunteer fire company that is actively protecting life and property and is organized under specific New Jersey statutes, or similar organizations operating within a fire district. This exemption aims to reduce the administrative and financial burden on these essential volunteer services.
