Oversight & Regulation of Charitable Organizations

The 2013 Charities Regulation and Oversight Project Policy Conference (held Feb. 7-8, 2013 at Columbia Law School in New York) was developed by the Charities Regulation and Oversight Project in partnership with the National Attorneys General Training and Research Institute (NAGTRI). Featuring the participation of more than half a dozen current and former attorneys general, dozens of assistant attorneys general from around the country, federal regulators and top academics and practitioners, conference sessions addressed a wide range of topics at the intersection of state regulation and the nonprofit sector, including emerging issues regarding the interlocking jurisdictional role of the states and the federal government; the continuing evolution of state attorneys general and other state regulators vis-a-vis the sector; political activity and advocacy in and by the sector; the regulatory and enforcement responsibilities of state attorneys general  over new hybrid corporate forms and "social mission" organizations; state regulators and religious organizations; the dynamic evolution of states' regulation of nonprofit healthcare; how media and technology impact transparency of the states and the sector; and the changing landscape of state-based charitable solicitation.
