                                 BILL NUMBER:  S7558

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the general business law, in relation to disclosures
required for certain solicitations by container


 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

This bill requires containers used for solicitation of property such
to have labels which identify the owner and its contact information
and disclose whether the property collected will be used for
charitable purposes or for profit.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section one adds a new section 350-c-1 to the general municipal law to
require owners of containers for the collection of property to
disclose on such container the name, address and telephone number of
the owner or its agent and state that the property collected will be
used for charitable purposes and its value is tax deductible, or the
property collected will be used for profit and its value is not tax
deductible. Recyclables are excluded from this provision. Any
violation will be deemed a deceptive practice within the meaning of
§349 of the general municipal law and its remedies are available for

enforcement.

Section 2 sets the effective day as 180 days after this bill becomes
law.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Nearly everyone who donates clothing at a collection bin expects that
the donated items will go to help someone in need. Many of these
donation bins, however, are collection points for commercial
industries which sell donated clothing, for example, at market prices
for their own profit. The "rag trade" is a billion dollar industry.
While this textile recycling is not illegal, its use of not-for-profit
organizations and their charity collection bins to collect materials
used or sold for profit deceives the public.

This bill does what a number of states have done - it requires notice
to the public. Owners of containers which collect property such as
clothing must tell the public if the property collected will be used
for charitable purposes or for commercial profit. This legislation
would thereby prohibit commercial businesses from mimicking
not-for-profit clothing drop-offs to collect, resell and make a profit
from recycled rags, insulation and other donated goods.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill shall be effective 180 days after it becomes law.

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the general business law, in relation to disclosures required
for certain solicitations by container

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This bill requires containers used
for solicitation of certain personal property to have labels which
identify the owner and its contact information and disclose whether
the property collected will be used for charitable purposes or for
profit.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section one adds a new section 399-bbb
to the general municipal law to require owners of containers for the
collection of property to disclose on such container the name,
address and telephone number of the owner or its agent and state that
the property collected will be used for charitable purposes and its
value is tax deductible or the property collected will be used for
profit and its value is not tax deductible. In addition, the owner of
the container must obtain written consent from the owner of the
property where the container will be placed. Recyclables are excluded
from this provision. Any violation will be deemed a deceptive
practice within the meaning of §349 of the general municipal law and

its remedies are available for enforcement. As such, "collection
container" is defined in order to clarify any questions regarding
what containers will be affected by enactment of this legislation.
Section 2 sets the effective day as 180 days after this bill becomes
law and shall apply to all existing and future collection containers.

JUSTIFICATION:
Nearly everyone who donates clothing at a collection
bin expects that the donated items will go to help someone in need.
Many of these donation bins, however, are collection points for
commercial industries which sell donated clothing, for example, at
market prices for their own profit. The "rag trade" is a billion

This bill shall be effective 180 days after it becomes
law and shall apply to all existing and future collection containers.
