Generalidades del objeto y alcance de la Ley
En fecha 15 de Noviembre del 2022, ha sido publicada en La Gaceta – Diario Oficial No. 214, la Ley No. 1137, Ley Especial para el Cambio de Régimen Jurídico de Organismos Sin Fines de Lucro que tiene por objeto: 1. Establecer condiciones y procedimientos especiales para el cambio del régimen jurídico mercantil de 29 Asociaciones Sin Fines de Lucro (en adelante “OSFL”) a entidades mercantiles receptoras; 2. Autorizar la transmisión del patrimonio, activos y obligaciones de las OSFL a las entidades mercantiles creadas bajo las leyes de la República de Nicaragua, entidades que serán sucesoras sin solución de continuidad de las OSFL, y; 3. Cancelar las personalidades jurídicas o el registro de las OSFL referidas en un plazo fatal de 90 días, contados a partir de la entrada en vigencia de la ley.

Un cambio de régimen jurídico implica un cambio del marco regulatorio que ha sido aplicable a la entidad pues no sólo modifica su naturaleza de “sin fines de lucro” a “con fines de lucro”, sino, la autoridad que se encargaba de su regulación y supervisión, y el régimen tributario que le será aplicable debido a su actividad económica y las utilidades que se generen en el marco de esa actividad.
