HB 2549 Summary

• Allows delinquent charitable organizations to pay a single $25 late registration penalty and file one annual registration statement, rather than paying penalties and filing statements for each year of delinquency.

• Establishes state preemption over charitable organization registration, prohibiting cities, towns, and counties from requiring registration of any charitable organization already registered with the state.

• Exempts charitable organizations from state registration requirements if they have no contracted fundraiser agreement and their total contributions were less than $50,000 in both the immediately preceding and current calendar years.
