State governance of nonprofits grows, study says.
06.13.2005 -

State regulation of nonprofits is increasing throughout the U.S., with 15 states introducing 24 new oversight bills this year, a new study says.
The study, conducted by the National Council of Nonprofit Associations, says the legislation was spurred by a variety of factors, including tight state budgets, high-profile scandals within the nonprofit sector and federal business oversight legislation passed in 2002 that is having ripple effects in the sector."
