• Introduced: 1/31/23

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 3, Chapter 17 and Title 49, relative to nonprofit organizations.

Impact

The amendment proposed in SB1330 specifically alters Sections 3-17-103 and 3-17-104 of the Tennessee Code. By allowing a nonprofit organization that submits an annual event application to receive automatic renewals, the bill reduces the need for repeated submissions and fees associated with applications. This change can potentially enhance the capacity of nonprofits to engage in fundraising and community outreach activities without the constant distraction of paperwork and fee structures.

Summary

Senate Bill 1330 aims to amend certain sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to nonprofit organizations and school support organizations. A primary focus of this bill is to streamline the process for these entities to submit an annual event application, allowing them to do so once each year, with automatic renewal thereafter. This provision is expected to ease the administrative burden on nonprofits, making it simpler for them to organize annual events that contribute to their missions and provide community benefits.

Contention

There are no indications from the currently available documents that SB1330 has generated significant points of contention, perhaps due to its niche focus on administrative processes for nonprofit organizations rather than broader legislative implications. However, stakeholders in the nonprofit sector might have varying opinions on how effective these changes will be in improving their operational efficiency or whether further amendments might be necessary in future sessions.
