Exempts volunteer fire companies from paying annual charitable registration fee.
This bill exempts volunteer fire companies in New Jersey from paying the annual registration fee required under the state's Charitable Registration Act. Currently, non-profits pay fees ranging from $30 to $250 yearly based on revenue, but volunteer fire companies must register and pay this fee like other organizations. The bill specifically removes the fee obligation while maintaining their requirement to register as charitable entities. It does not change existing registration procedures or eliminate other compliance duties. The exemption applies immediately upon enactment.
