An Act amending the act of December 19, 1990 (P.L.1200, No.202), known as the Solicitation of Funds for Charitable Purposes Act, further providing for definitions.

HB 212 amends Pennsylvania's 1990 Charitable Solicitations Act by clarifying the definition of "contribution." It explicitly excludes membership fees for bona fide benefits (like dues for actual membership rights), payments for performances/events, and government grants from being counted as contributions. This change directly affects charitable organizations, fundraisers, and regulators by reducing the scope of activities requiring registration under the law. The bill makes no new requirements but clarifies what is legally considered a "contribution" for regulatory purposes.
