MEMORANDUM

Posted: February 3, 2015 01:57 PM
From: Representative Scott A. Petri
To: All House members
Subject: Exemptions – Charitable Purposes Act
 
I plan to reintroduce former House Bill 247, which amends Act 202 of 1990 (Solicitation of Funds for Charitable Purposes Act), to exempt youth athletic organizations and volunteer fire organizations from the provisions of the Act.

The registration and reporting requirements within the act place an unfair burden on these important non-profit groups. This exemption, however, would not apply to youth athletic organizations, or volunteer fire organizations which choose to use a professional solicitor or a professional fundraiser in their fundraising activities.
