Nonprofit Revitalization Act Amendments Signed Into Law
On November 28, 2016, Governor Cuomo signed into law
Amendments designed to improve the 2013 Nonprofit Revitalization Act
. These improvements focus on related
party transactions, independent directors, conflicts of interest and Board Committee structure and roles
. The changes go into effect on May 27, 2017, 180 days after the Governor signed the law, except for the amendment to NPCL § 713(f), relating to the chair of the board, which is effective on January 1, 2017. NPCC worked with our partner, the Lawyers Alliance of New York, to support these changes which we believe give nonprofits more clarity about nonprofit regulation.

No date has been announced for a full ruling or when the hold will be lifted; however, on December 1, 2016 the US Department of Labor filed an appeal of the temporary injunction.

Nonprofits and Financial Difficulty Aiding Overseas
Some charities that help refugees from Syria and the Middle East are having a hard time finding banks that will work with them. Due to federal regulations designed to stop money laundering and covert financing of terrorism, banks are finding it more beneficial to close accounts than to work with some charities. In some cases, banks are severing ties without warning or giving the charity a chance to appeal.
