§ 525.13. Agents and solicitors for permit holders.

Before any agent or solicitor for a permit holder may solicit funds, they must first obtain, or be provided by the permit holder, an information card, or envelope, or some other evidence of identification, acceptable to the public safety director or their designee, which must be exhibited upon request when a solicitation is made. Such identification form shall include information as follows:

(A)

The name of the permit holder;

(B)

A description of the purpose of the solicitation;

(C)

The name of the agent or solicitor. No agent or solicitor shall solicit contributions for any charitable purpose from any person located within the city unless such agent or solicitor has first received said form of identification.

(D)

No such identification form shall be required when in-plant or in-office solicitations are made among employees for a purpose authorized by an employer.

(E)

The public safety director or their designee shall have the authority to waive all conditions of this chapter upon application of person filing a notice of intention, in respect to identification forms and filing copies of written authorization, when a campaign or drive for raising funds for any charitable purpose is given general publicity through the press or otherwise, and when more than fifty (50) persons serve as solicitors without compensation, if it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the public safety director or their designee that the publicity concerning the solicitation fully informs the general public and the persons to be solicited as to the facts regarding such campaign.
