Charitable organizations: enforcement.

The Supervision of Trustees and Fundraisers for Charitable Purposes Act governs charitable corporations, unincorporated associations trustees, commercial fundraisers, fundraising counsel, commercial coventurers, and other legal entities who hold or solicit property for charitable purposes over which the Attorney General has enforcement and supervisory powers. That act requires those legal entities to register, and file specified reports, with the Attorney General's Registry of Charitable Trusts, as provided. The act establishes the Registry of Charitable Trusts Fund in the State Treasury, which is administered by the Department of Justice. The act requires, among other specified fees, all registration fees paid to the Department of Justice pursuant to the act to be deposited in the fund, and requires those moneys to be used by the Attorney General, upon appropriation by the Legislature, among other specified purposes, to operate and maintain the Attorney General's Registry of Charitable Trusts. This bill would additionally require moneys in the fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to be used by the Attorney General to enforce the registration and reporting provisions of the act.
