HB 4745 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Businesses: charitable organizations; exemptions from registration and reporting requirements; modify. Amends sec. 13 of 1975 PA 169 (MCL 400.283).

HB 4745 modifies Michigan's Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act to expand exemptions from registration and reporting requirements. It exempts small charitable groups that raise under $25,000 annually through unpaid volunteers, individual relief efforts (like community fundraisers for named people), educational institutions, hospitals, veterans' organizations, and certain non-profits with specific tax statuses. The bill also adds requirements for some exempt groups, such as filing financial statements or using funds solely for stated charitable purposes. These changes directly affect local charities, community groups, and hospitals that previously faced registration burdens for smaller-scale fundraising.
