Requires certain employees of charitable organizations to complete a course of instruction in the law and ethics of fundraising

This bill requires employees in charitable organizations and professional fundraising entities to complete approved training on fundraising law and ethics. Specifically, it applies to organizations where 75% of employees handle fundraising hiring, training, or supervision, including those required to register with the state. Employees must complete an attorney general-approved course within 12 months of registration and every five years thereafter, with documentation provided upon request. The training covers prohibited activities like false statements, fraud, or illegal solicitation. The attorney general will monitor compliance with this requirement.
