Bill > HB0379

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 48, Chapter 101, which governs the solicitation of charitable funds, by making two specific changes to the definition of a professional solicitor. First, the bill removes a comma after the phrase "for a charitable organization" in an existing legal provision. Second, the bill eliminates language that previously defined a professional solicitor as including "a person who plans, conducts, manages, carries on or advises a charitable organization in connection with the solicitation of contributions." These changes appear to narrow the legal definition of who qualifies as a professional solicitor, potentially making the statute more precise about which individuals or entities are covered under this classification. The modifications could impact how charitable organizations and their employees are regulated when seeking contributions. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
