Impact on Libraries
Non-profit organizations in Pennsylvania are required to register in order to legally solicit donations. State-aided libraries accomplish this by filing the annual report with Office of Commonwealth Libraries; however, non-state-aided libraries and entities like Friends groups should pay attention.
Currently, organizations that receive less than $25,000 in gross contributions are exempt from registering. This legislation raises that limit to $50,000.
