(2)__A completed renewal application. |
|
| | Sec. 12. 9 MRSA §5017, as enacted by PL 2003, c. 541, §18, is | amended to read: |
|
| §5017. Denial or refusal to renew registration |
|
| | The commissioner may deny or refuse to renew a registration | under this chapter for fraud, misrepresentation or deception on | an application or for violation of any provision of statute or | rule adopted under this chapter. |
|
| | 1. Eliminates the requirement that professional fund-raising | counsel carry a $25,000 surety bond; |
|
| | 2. Eliminates the requirement that businesses donating less | than $10,000 annually to charitable organizations become | registered as commercial co-venturers. This will apply the same | exemption limit to commercial co-venturers as currently applies | to charitable organizations; |
|
| | 3. Amends the definition of "contribution" by adding an | exception for money or property received from an organization. | This will produce the effect of exempting from the registration | requirement individuals who contract with charitable | organizations to provide grant-writing services for the purpose | of obtaining money or property from organizations; |
|
| | 4. Corrects an inconsistency between the definition of | "charitable organization" and the description of entities subject | to the registration requirements applicable to charitable | organizations; and |
|
| | 5. Deletes a reference to the financial report filing fee, | which no longer is charged to charitable organizations receiving | more than $30,000 annually in gross contributions. |
