§ 525.14. Written receipt required.

No person shall solicit any contribution for any charitable purpose unless they are prepared to tender a written receipt signed by the solicitor which contains, in addition to a description of the amount and kind of the contribution, the following:

(A)

The name of the charity, if any, in whose name or upon whose behalf the solicitation is made;

(B)

A statement as to whether the contribution solicited is to be applied for the general purposes of such association, if any, or for specific purposes. If for specific purposes the nature thereof shall be clearly stated;

(C)

A statement that identification was presented to the person making the contribution prior to receipt.

No receipt need be given or tendered if donation is made in a sealed envelope or a locked receptacle previously approved by the public safety director or their designee, so that either the amount donated or the name of the donor is unknown, or if the amount donated is less than or equal to one dollar ($1.00).

No person shall solicit any charitable contribution, for any real or purported charitable purpose, by means of any box or receptacle in any place immediately abutting upon any public sidewalk or way, or in any place of business, room, hallway, corridor, lobby, entranceway, or resort open to or accessible to the public, except by the express written permission of the public safety director or their designee, and a permit has been first issued for charitable solicitations in this manner. Every person so soliciting must comply with the provisions of this chapter.

No person under the age of fourteen (14) years shall solicit any contribution for any charitable purpose between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a person of the age of sixteen (16) years or more. Such person accompanying persons under the age of fourteen (14) years shall have an identification card as provided in this chapter.
