Attorney General Jim Petro sought middle ground yesterday in devising rules to regulate the state’s 24,000 charities, speeding up the creation of an advisory panel on the rules but holding to a requirement that nonprofit hospitals register with the state.

The rules have been criticized since Petro unveiled them in late June. Many charity leaders complained that they would burden small organizations with paperwork and impose arbitrary restrictions on large ones, such as limiting pay for hospital executives."
