3. Extending Benefit Corporations to LLCs
In 2014, the Legislature amended the Benefit Corporation Act to allow a corporation to file as a benefit corporation. A benefit corporation is a corporation organized with a charitable purpose in mind and bylaws and/or operating documents specify a percentage of profit to be donated to charity. Current statute only allows a corporation to file as a benefit corporation. This item would study the effect of allowing an LLC to also organize with a charitable purpose in mind. See S.B. 133, 2014 General Session.
• Sen. Todd Weiler

See H.B. 213, 2017 General Session. The committee may coordinate this study with its review of and recommendations for the Performance Audit of the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division’s Employment Discrimination Unit Report #2107-02.
