New Nonprofit Enterprise Zone Bill & New I-9 Form

Click here to learn more about HB13-1190. This bill, recently signed by the Governor, "allows donors to give to a Contribution Project through a “nonprofit intermediary” such as a federated giving campaign or a nonprofit giving website (e.g. ColoradoGives.org). The legislation clarifies that donors are still eligible for the tax credit if they give to a Contribution Project via a nonprofit intermediary."  [Source: Colorado Nonprofit Association]

"In March, the Department of Homeland Security's United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) released its new Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification). Previously a one-page form, the new version is two pages. According to USCIS, the revised Form I-9 is designed to minimize errors in form completion. After May 7, all prior versions of Form I-9 may no longer be used, and employers who fail to use the new Form I-9 will be subject to enforcement and penalties under federal immigration law. The new form is available on the USCIS website."  [Source: Colorado Nonprofit Association]
