AI Summary

  • Requires for-profit entities collecting donations via public receptacles to display prominent signage (at least 2 inches high and wide in bold letters) stating "DONATIONS ARE NOT FOR CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND WILL BE RESOLD FOR PROFIT"

  • Mandates disclosure signage when some or all proceeds go to nonprofit organizations, specifying the for-profit company name and percentage of proceeds donated to the nonprofit beneficiary

  • Requires disclosure signage when a for-profit entity operates receptacles on behalf of a nonprofit on a flat fee basis with 100 percent of proceeds going to the nonprofit

  • All donation receptacles must conspicuously display the owner and operator's name, address, and telephone number

  • Receptacle owners must obtain written permission from property owners or agents before placing receptacles and must identify themselves, the property owner, nature of collections, and where proceeds will go; failure to obtain permission constitutes an unfair business practice and allows property owners to remove receptacles with costs borne by the receptacle owner

Legislative Description

Requires that all donation receptacles have the name and contact information of the receptacle owner and that the owner has permission from the property owner where the receptacle is located
