New Language: Section 14. Dissolution of a PTA unit is a serious step with potential IRS consequences. PTA is a membership-based organization and as such requires a 2/3 majority vote of the general membership to dissolve. Before beginning the dissolution process, a constituent unit must contact Utah PTA to request the Utah PTA Policy on Dissolution Procedures of Local PTA Units to ensure the proper steps are taken for dissolution. The Policy includes a Local Unit Dissolution Checklist that will be used by the local PTA and Utah PTA. Utah PTA representatives will meet with the local officers to ensure compliance with the Local Unit Dissolution Checklist. Once the dissolution process is complete, Utah PTA will notify the Division of Consumer Protection that the local PTA/PTSA has been dissolved and may no longer solicit, promote, or sponsor a charitable solicitation in Utah according to the Utah Charitable Solicitation Act (13-22-5). Utah PTA will also notify the IRS and the local PTA/PTSA EIN and exempt status will be revoked. |
