TRENTON — Nonprofit organizations that contract with government got a month's reprieve Tuesday from new pay-to-play rules. The ruling by the state Election Law Enforcement Commission came after questions again arose whether nonprofits were meant to follow the same disclosure rules as for-profit businesses. Starting this year, organizations that receive more than $50,000 worth of contracts from all levels of government must report certain political donations made by the organization, some officials, owners and their spouses. The forms are supposed to be filed in March, but all groups were given until September this year because it's the first year they're due."
