Legislative Status and History

Introduced: December 14, 2024

2024-12-16: Draft On Hold

2025-05-27: Draft Died in Process

Classification: bill; Subject: Corporations/Partnerships/Associations

Notes: The bill progressed as a Legislative Counsel (LC) draft but ultimately died in the legislative process. This means no enactment occurred based on this draft, and the measure did not advance to final consideration under its current form.

Purpose and Scope (as stated)

The primary purpose is to generally revise fees charged to charitable organizations. The record does not provide the specifics of what fees would be changed, how they would be structured, or which activities would be affected (e.g., registration, annual reporting, renewals, penalties).

Key Provisions (Not Publicly Available in Text)

Specific fee changes (amounts, schedules, or percentages) are not provided in the available summary.

It is not clear which regulatory filings or steps would be revised (e.g., initial registrations, annual renewals, compliance fees, late penalties, exemptions).

No information on effective dates, transitional provisions, or exemptions is available here.

Who Would be Affected

Charitable organizations subject to state regulation and fee schedules.

Entities classified under corporations/partnerships/associations that operate or register as charitable organizations.

Administrative bodies or state agencies responsible for administering charitable registration and related fees.

Potential Impact (Illustrative)

If enacted with higher fees or expanded fee scopes, operating costs for charitable organizations could increase, potentially affecting budgeting and compliance planning.

If fees are streamlined or reduced, administrative burdens might lessen and compliance costs could decrease.

Revenue implications for the regulating agency could shift accordingly, influencing resources for oversight and services.

Procedural Notes and Next Steps

With the draft having died in process, there is no active path to enactment under this specific LC 3300 version. Reintroduction or amendments in a future session could reframe the bill’s provisions.

Any future action would require new text, committee referrals, and votes to become law.

Summary

LC 3300 sought to generally revise charitable-organization fees but, in its current form, did not advance past the drafting stage. The available record provides only the bill’s purpose and its dead-in-process status, with no published details on the substantive provisions or exact fee changes.
