A 148 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Exempts certain volunteer emergency service organizations from charitable contribution filing fees.

This bill exempts volunteer emergency service organizations (like fire departments and ambulance services) from New Jersey's charitable organization registration and reporting requirements. It modifies existing law to remove these groups from the obligation to file detailed "long form" registrations and annual financial reports with the Attorney General. The exemption specifically applies to organizations that would otherwise need to comply with the state's charitable solicitation rules. This change reduces administrative burdens for these volunteer groups without altering their tax-exempt status.
