   An act relating to nonprofit corporations.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2641, as introduced, Skinner. Nonprofit corporations: required
filings.
   Existing law provides for the organization and governance of
nonprofit public benefit corporations, nonprofit mutual benefit
corporations, and nonprofit religious corporations. Existing law
requires these corporations to prepare and file articles of
incorporation with the Secretary of State, and within 90 days of that
filing, and biennially thereafter, as specified, to file a form
prescribed by the secretary stating specified information regarding
certain officers, office location, and agent for service of process,
among other information. Existing law requires a charitable
corporation, as defined, to also file periodic written reports with
the Attorney General beginning within 4 months and 15 days following
the close of the first calendar or fiscal year in which it initially
receives property, setting forth information as to the nature of the
assets held for charitable purposes and the administration thereof.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would require the secretary and the Attorney General
to cooperate with each other to designate a single form for these
purposes and to make that form available for the electronic filing.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
