Exempts volunteer fire companies, emergency service providers, and veteran organizations from charitable registration fees.

This bill exempts volunteer fire companies, emergency medical service providers, and veteran organizations from paying charitable registration fees in New Jersey. It specifically applies to groups that operate entirely on a volunteer basis (with no paid staff for fundraising) and meet the criteria outlined in the law. Currently, charitable organizations raising over $10,000 annually must register and pay fees to the Division of Consumer Affairs; this bill removes that requirement for qualifying volunteer groups. The exemption covers fire companies, emergency service nonprofits, and IRS 501(c)(3)/501(c)(19) veteran organizations that perform duties without paid fundraising staff.
