Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2248, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to, among other things:
(1) Require professional solicitors for charitable organizations, when making oral solicitations and before collecting a contribution, to submit to each contributor written confirmation of the expected contribution, specifying various details about the solicitor and the extent to which the contribution may be tax deductible; and
(2) Deem a professional fundraising counsel to be a professional solicitor if the fundraising counsel's compensation is related to the amount of contributions received.
The Department of the Attorney General testified in support of this bill.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2248, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
