Summary

The bill establishes a new Office of Nonprofit Empowerment within the state government, led by a director appointed by the governor. The office would advise, train, and assist nonprofits and state agencies on grant and procurement matters, and it must post reports and a public website with recommendations. Funding would come from an unspecified amount in the General Fund, but the measure was vetoed and is awaiting the governor’s final decision.
