The NYS Council has been working with other nonprofit organizations and umbrella associations across the state to ensure a bill that would repeal redundant 990 filing obligations placed on nonprofits via Executive Law at the beginning of this year is repealed. The new Law requires nonprofits to report some of the same information already required by the NYS Charities Bureau to the NY department of State, the difference being that the Law did not include provisions to ensure that donor information including name and address of financial supporters is kept confidential.
We support this bill for many reasons! Please take a moment today to take action. Use the information below from Nonprofit New York to make your voice heard in the final hours of the legislative session.
THANK YOU!!
S4817A(Krueger) passed the full State Senate today! Thank you Senator Krueger for your leadership and sponsoring this bill, and thank you to all NYS Council members who mobilized to make this happen! The bill must now clear Assembly Rules and go to the full Assembly, and we need you to take action today. The final day of the state legislative session is tomorrow.
