SB 1161 - This act allows the governing body of any municipality or county to authorize an organization to stand in a road to solicit charitable contributions. Any organization must file a written application no later than 11 days before the solicitation. The act specifies what information must be provided in the application. The governing body may require the applicant to obtain a permit or pay a reasonable fee. It may also require proof of liability insurance or set a minimum age requirement for persons soliciting. Solicitation collections shall only be conducted at intersections controlled by electronic signal lights or by four-way stop signs. This act is identical to HCS/HB 1119 (2006). SUSAN HENDERSON MOORE
