Summary

The bill establishes a new Volunteer Communities Act that lets qualifying mutual‑aid groups—unincorporated associations or small nonprofits—receive franchise, excise, sales and property tax credits and exemptions, plus liability, food‑service and zoning protections. It requires these groups to register with the secretary of state, file a modest fee, and submit annual reports. If a group grows beyond $100,000 in revenue, it must either shrink or become a federally recognized nonprofit to keep the benefits.
