Exempts volunteer fire companies from charitable registration fees.

This bill exempts volunteer fire companies in New Jersey from paying charitable registration fees. Currently, these organizations must pay fees based on fundraising amounts if they exceed $25,000 annually, but the bill would remove this requirement entirely for all qualifying fire companies. The exemption applies to fire companies organized under state law and actively engaged in protecting life and property. Approximately 750 fire companies, which collectively pay about $52,000 in fees each year, would benefit from this change.
