Exempts volunteer fire companies from paying annual charitable registration fee.

This bill (S 861) exempts volunteer fire companies in New Jersey from paying the annual charitable registration fee required under state law. Currently, non-profits pay fees ranging from $30 to $250 yearly based on revenue, but volunteer fire companies are not automatically exempt. The bill amends the Charitable Registration Act to specifically remove this fee obligation for volunteer fire companies while maintaining their requirement to register as non-profits. This is a direct policy change affecting volunteer fire companies' annual administrative costs.
