A 153 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts certain volunteer emergency service organizations from charitable contribution filing fees.

This bill would exempt volunteer emergency service organizations in New Jersey from paying registration filing fees under the state's Charitable Registration and Investigation Act. It specifically applies to non-profit organizations providing emergency medical care, rescue services, patient transport, or fire protection, including part-paid fire departments and fire districts. Currently, charitable organizations raising $25,000 or less must pay a $30 fee for short form registration, while those raising more must pay higher fees for long form registration. The exemption would apply regardless of an organization's revenue amount, removing these administrative costs for these volunteer groups. This change would reduce the financial burden on these organizations that serve critical community safety needs.
