Bill > S1288

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, various organizations, including religious and educational institutions, as well as certain small charities or local units of larger organizations, are already exempt from these registration fees. The proposed change specifically adds volunteer fire companies that are actively protecting life and property, whether organized under specific statutes or constituted within a fire district, to this list of exemptions. This means these volunteer fire companies will no longer have to pay fees to register as charitable organizations when they solicit donations.
