Bill > SB0454

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 48-101-501(b)(15), which relates to the definition of professional solicitors in charitable fundraising regulations, by making two specific changes to the existing statutory language. First, the bill removes a comma after the phrase "for a charitable organization" in the first sentence of the subdivision. Second, it eliminates the language ", or a person who plans, conducts, manages, carries on or advises a charitable organization in connection with the solicitation of contributions" from the same section. These modifications appear to narrow the definition of who is considered a professional solicitor under Tennessee law, potentially making the statute more precise about which individuals or roles are covered by the charitable solicitation regulations. The changes will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as specified in the bill's third section, which emphasizes the public welfare justification for the legislation.
