Nonprofit Revitalization Act Information
NYS Cap Bldg
The Nonprofit Revitalization Actmakes a number of key reforms to New York law
in two main areas:
  
-Enhancing nonprofit governance and oversight to prevent fraud and improve public trust; and
  
-Reducing unnecessary and outdated burdens on nonprofits.

"The Nonprofit Revitalization Act represents significant and much needed reform," according to Doug Sauer, NYCON's CEO.

"Everyone involved is to be congratulated for making this landmark piece of legislation happen. Given that the Act does not take effect until July 1, 2014, there is ample time to review and make any necessary amendments. NYCON looks forward to continuing our partnership with the Sponsors of the Act throughout the amendment process."
