HB 609 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Nonprofit corporations; authorize administrative dissolution for failure to file annual report and exempt churches from reporting requirement.

HB 609 requires most nonprofit corporations in Mississippi to file an annual report by May 15 each year with details like their registered agent, principal office, and whether they received public funds from state or local governments. Nonprofits that fail to file on time may face administrative dissolution (losing legal status), but churches are explicitly exempt from this reporting requirement. The bill updates existing law to clarify these rules and exempts churches from the annual report obligation, directly affecting nonprofits while sparing religious organizations from this administrative burden.
