What AB 2221 does, verified August 25, 2026

<blockquote> <p>The bill amends existing laws regarding charitable fundraising in California by removing provisions that allow charitable platforms or charities to rely on specified electronic lists to determine if recipient organizations are in good standing. Instead, it clarifies that these requirements do not apply to organizations exempt from registration under the act.</p> <p>Additionally, the bill mandates that disclosures provided before a donation can be completed must include an explanation of alternative fund dispositions when a recipient organization cannot receive funds.</p> <p>The bill also updates rules and regulations for the registry's administration, including modernizing online processes to support electronic filings. It specifies procedures for handling deficient filings and sets timelines for registration and responses.</p> </blockquote>
