Organisasjonsloven

Organisasjonsloven, or the Organizations Act, is a Norwegian law that governs the establishment and operation of various types of organizations. It primarily deals with the legal framework for non-profit organizations, associations, and foundations. The act aims to provide clarity and security for these entities by defining their rights, responsibilities, and internal governance structures.

Key provisions within Organisasjonsloven include regulations on how organizations are formed, including requirements for founding documents and registration. It also addresses issues such as membership rights, the role of governing bodies like boards and general assemblies, and procedures for decision-making. The law further outlines rules for financial management, transparency, and reporting obligations for these organizations.

Organisasjonsloven also sets out guidelines for the dissolution or liquidation of organizations, ensuring that assets are handled appropriately. While the act provides a general framework, specific types of organizations, such as charities or sports clubs, may also be subject to additional sector-specific regulations. The overall purpose of Organisasjonsloven is to foster a transparent and well-regulated environment for civil society in Norway.
