Bill > S3027

Introduced Session

This bill exempts volunteer fire companies from paying the annual registration fee that is required by the State "Charitable Registration and Investigation Act." The State Attorney General has authority to set annual registration fees for charitable and other non-profit organizations. These fees are currently based on the amount of revenue received by an organization, starting with a $30 annual fee for an organization receiving up to $10,000 per year, to a $250 fee for an organization receiving over $500,000 per year. While there are certain exemptions that apply to the fee and registration requirements under current law, volunteer fire companies are not categorically exempted from registration and fees. If enacted, this bill would exempt volunteer fire companies from paying an annual registration fee, but it would not relieve volunteer fire companies of their obligation to register as non-profit organizations.
