Charitable organizations; Oklahoma Solicitation of Charitable Contributions Act; registration fee; effective date.

HB 1175 requires charitable organizations soliciting funds in Oklahoma to register annually with the Secretary of State and pay a registration fee based on expected contributions. Organizations anticipating over $10,000 in annual contributions pay $65 (split between state funds), while smaller organizations pay $15. The bill mandates detailed disclosures including organizational information, financial data (like total contributions and expenses), fundraising methods, and professional fundraiser details. It directly affects all charitable groups operating within Oklahoma that solicit public donations, excluding those specifically exempt under existing law. The registration process aims to increase transparency for the public while funding enforcement and administrative costs through the fee structure.
