Bill > H2001

This bill aims to regulate for-profit charitable solicitation. It requires any person, professional fundraising counsel, or professional solicitor who solicits charitable donations for profit to comply with certain guidelines if the charity they contract with receives 40% or less of the total donations. The key provisions include: 1) requiring recordings of all calls and letters used for solicitation, which must be kept for at least 180 days and subject to audit by the Attorney General's Office; 2) mandating that solicitors state they are "soliciting money for profit" and are "not an employee" of the charity; and 3) subjecting solicitors who misrepresent themselves as members of the charity or certain professions to civil and criminal penalties.
