Hi Bob,
Please note: I have absolutely nothing resembling expertise in this area!
That said, I would be quite leery of taking legal advice and interpretations of the laws of one State from a representative of a different State. [I'm pretty sure 'passing the bar' to practice law in one State doesn't even give a lawyer the right to practice law in a different State ... much less some administrative flunky. But people *do* so like to exceed their authority and tell others what to do - even when they are wrong or sadly misinformed. ;-)]
Have your non-profit check with their legal advisor.
My 2¢,
RonL.
