New Bill to Crack Down on University Nonprofits 1/7/10

SB 330, which is a reintroduction of last year's SB 218 (vetoed by the Governor), would update the California Public Records Act (CPRA) to include nonprofit auxiliary organizations that perform government functions at the UC and CSU. To address the Governor's veto message, the new bill will exempt from disclosure the names of volunteers and donors who wish to remain anonymous provided they do not receive something of value greater than $500 in exchange for their donation or service. CAN will be working to assure that the bill does have an adverse impact on nonprofits in general.
