States Propose New Charity Regulations :: PNNOnline :: the nonprofit news and information resource

States Propose New Charity Regulations :: PNNOnline :: the nonprofit news and information resource: "Fifteen states introduced 24 bills this year that would increase regulations on charities, according to a new study by the National Council of Nonprofit Associations (NCNA).


These bills were introduced in the context of continuing pressure on state budgets, high-profile scandals captured by media across the country, federal attention on nonprofit regulation influenced by the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley in 2002, and the process of devolution, which has gradually increased the power of state legislatures.


NCNA recently released a comprehensive list of charity oversight bills at the state level, and plans to update the list as legislatures move forward. The list is available online at www.ncna.org/statepolicy. The data compiled by NCNA reflects charity oversight legislation for 2004 and 2005 to date. "
