CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND WILL BE RESOLD FOR PROFIT”.

B. It shall be an unfair business practice for a for-profit

entity or natural person to collect donations of unwanted clothing

items if some or all of the proceeds from the sale are directly

given to a not-for-profit entity unless the donation receptacle

prominently displays a disclosure label printed in bold letters at

least one (1) inch high and one (1) inch wide stating: “DONATIONS TO

items, if the not-for-profit entity is paid a flat fee, not

contingent upon the proceeds generated by the sale of the collected

goods, and one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds from the sale

of the items is retained by the for-profit entity, unless the

donation receptacle prominently displays a disclosure label printed

in bold letters at least one (1) inch high and one (1) inch wide

stating: “THIS DONATION RECEPTACLE IS OPERATED BY THE FOR-PROFIT

ENTITY: (name of the for-profit entity or individual) ON BEHALF OF

(name of the nonprofit beneficiary organization)”. Donations are

sold for-profit by (name of the for-profit entity or individual) and
