§ 2509. Charitable solicitations
It shall be an unlawful practice for a sponsor to sell or offer for sale pay-per-call
services that involve charitable fundraising either directly or indirectly by solicitation
of donations or through the sale of information, goods, or services unless:
(1) all advertisements and promotions for the service include the identity of the nonprofit
tax-exempt charity or charitable organization for which the funds are being raised;
(2) the sponsor gives callers the right to cancel any pledge made by virtue of the telephone
call, whether it is characterized as a donation or as the cost of the call itself,
and notifies callers of that right as part of the service; and
(3) the sponsor and charity or charitable organization have complied with all applicable
federal and State laws governing charitable fundraising. (Added 1993, No. 99, § 2.)
