SB 338 Utah Senate · 2025 General Session

Nonprofit Entities Amendments

SB 338 amends Utah's laws governing nonprofit entities to clarify disclosure requirements. It specifically excludes the Utah Association of Special Districts from the definition of "governmental nonprofit corporation," clarifies that most private nonprofits (not public employee associations) don't need to post employee compensation online, and requires governmental nonprofits to post financial information on the Utah Public Finance Website. These changes directly affect governmental nonprofits (like those controlled by state/local governments) and private nonprofits, altering their reporting obligations. The bill makes concrete policy changes to existing disclosure rules without appropriating funds or creating new financial burdens.
