The laws, and links to the actual text

Every entry links to the primary source rather than to our summary of it. We track what is currently enforceable, because struck-down laws keep circulating as though they still apply — which in Arkansas is a live problem.

Arkansas charitable solicitation registrationArk. Code Ann. §4-28-402
ArkansasIn effect

Charities soliciting in Arkansas must register before asking for money. Registration moved from the Attorney General to the Secretary of State on 1 January 2018. The Secretary of State explains registration and exemption filings, including a category for organizations not anticipating more than $50,000 in annual contributions and using only unpaid volunteer fundraisers. Check every condition and the required exemption filing.
