AI Summary

  • Raises the registration exemption threshold for charitable organizations from $7,500 to $10,000 in gross revenue per fiscal year, and from $20,000 to $25,000 for organizations with IRS tax-exempt status that use uncompensated volunteers.

  • Requires all entities soliciting charitable contributions (including charitable organizations, professional solicitors, and commercial co-venturers) to disclose the legal name and purpose of the charity at the initial time of solicitation.

  • Creates a new $10,000 threshold for commercial co-venturer registration: those intending to solicit, collect, or receive less than $10,000 during a solicitation campaign are exempt from registering with the Secretary of State.

  • Prohibits commercial co-venturers from using their registration with the Secretary of State as an implied endorsement or approval by the state.
