Penalties.

A. The name and organizational or business affiliation of every

person who by telephone engages in the solicitation or sale of any

item, tangible or intangible, shall, by such person, be given to the

person answering such telephone call. Such information shall be

given immediately and prior to any solicitation or sales

presentation. The telephone number of the person placing the call

must be given upon request of the party being called. The person in

whose name the telephone is registered is responsible for his agents

and employees conforming with the provisions of this section. This

section does not apply to calls between persons known to each other

and to religious groups, or nonprofit organizations within their own

membership, and political activities.

B. No person may solicit contributions by telephone for a

charitable nonprofit organization unless that organization has

complied with the provisions of the Oklahoma Solicitation of

Charitable Contributions Act, Sections 552.1 et seq. of Title 18 of

the Oklahoma Statutes. Such person may charge a reasonable fee for

his services, which shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the net

receipts of the solicitation; provided, however, that in the event

the fee charged is based upon a predetermined flat fee, then this

provision shall not apply. Provided, further, that all sums shall

be paid directly to the nonprofit organization.

C. Violation of this section by a person, business or

organization shall constitute a misdemeanor. A third and subsequent

conviction under this section shall constitute a Class D3 felony

offense punishable by imprisonment as provided for in subsections B

through F of Section 20P of this title.
