Bill > H1153

This bill mandates that Citizen Support Organizations (CSOs) and Direct-Support Organizations (DSOs), which are entities created to support government agencies, must annually submit specific information to the agency they support, including their name, address, mission, plans, code of ethics, and IRS tax forms. Agencies receiving this information are required to post it on their websites, and if the CSO or DSO has its own website, the agency's site must link to it. Furthermore, the bill introduces a sunset provision, meaning that any law creating or authorizing a CSO or DSO will automatically be repealed on a specific date (typically five years after enactment) unless the Legislature reviews and reenacts it, ensuring ongoing legislative oversight and the potential termination of these organizations.
