§ 7.24.200. Contributions—Receipt requirements.

A.

A person shall not solicit any contribution for any charitable purpose unless such person tenders to each person making such contribution a written receipt signed by the solicitor which contains, in addition to a description of the amount and kind of the contribution, substantially the following matters:

1.

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

2.

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, and if for specific purposes the nature thereof shall be clearly stated;

3.

A statement that the information card, issued by the board of social service commissioners of the city of Los Angeles and approved by the commission, or the information card provided for in Part 2 of this chapter, issued by the commission, was presented to the person making the contribution for his perusal prior to receipt by the solicitor of the contribution receipted for.

B.

Provided, however, that no receipt need be given or tendered if donation of money is made by placing of the same in a locked receptacle, of a kind previously approved by the commission, in such manner that it is impracticable to ascertain either the amount donated or the name of the donor, and if an inscription shall be conspicuously attached to such receptacle containing in legible writing a copy of such information card approved by or issued by the commission and the statements required to be set forth in the receipt hereinbefore in this section referred to, except the statements regarding such information card. and if such receptacle bears a number or other mark of identification, and if a written list showing by number the location and name of the solicitor in charge of each receptacle, if there be more than one such receptacle within the county of Los Angeles, shall have been previously filed with the commission.

C.

Provided, further, that no receipt need be given for any donation of money in an amount less than $1.00.
