[ Filed with Secretary of State  September 12, 1989. Approved by Governor  September 12, 1989. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 74, Montoya. Salvageable personal property: regulatory exemption.
Existing law provides for the regulation of the acquisition and disposition of salvageable personal property for charitable purposes. Existing law exempts from regulation the activities of certain organizations in soliciting donations of and selling salvageable personal property where those activities are not a major part of the organization’s activities and are not conducted as a continuous or permanent operation.
This bill would extend the exemption from regulation to the activities of certain associations tax exempt under the Revenue and Taxation Code, whose membership is comprised of physically, mentally, or developmentally disabled persons and whose primary purpose is to provide services to persons with those disabilities.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 148.1 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is amended to read:

148.1.
 None of the provisions of this chapter shall apply to the activities of any organization or association of persons or any person engaged by or under its authority, in soliciting donations of salvageable personal property solely from members of the organization or in selling salvageable personal property obtained from the organization’s members by that soliciting, or the soliciting and sale of salvageable personal property by fraternal, social, political, or service organizations for occasional rummage sales or bazaars where the activity does not constitute a major part of the organization’s activities and is not conducted as a permanent or continuous operation. Nor shall the provisions of this chapter apply to an association which is exempt under Section 23701d or 23701f of the Revenue and Taxation Code if the membership of the association is comprised of persons with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities and the primary purpose of the association is to provide services to persons with those disabilities.
