Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the executive law, in relation to reporting of contributions or grants from a government agency by registered charitable organizations

Purpose or general idea of bill

This legislation would allow the Attorney General to require charitable organizations to report contributions or grants from a government agency. It would also clarify that, if required by the Attorney General, these charitable organizations should disclose contributions from both domestic and foreign government agencies.

Summary of specific provisions

Section 1-3. Allows the attorney general to require the reporting of donors, including foreign government donations.

Section 4. Effective date.

Justification

This legislation would require that donor disclosure, if required by the Attorney General, is expected of both domestic and foreign government entities. Currently, the regulations do not specifically identify donations by foreign government entities as falling under the donor disclosure requirements. This legislation would clarify the current regulations and ensure that organizations are treated in a fair and consistent manner.

Prior legislative history

None.

Fiscal implications

None.

Effective date
