What AB 576 does, verified February 3, 2026

The bill aims to amend existing charitable giving laws to regulate online fundraising platforms. These platforms must register with the state's attorney general before soliciting donations. They can only enable solicitations or receive funds for organizations that are in good standing. The attorney general will establish rules and regulations for these platforms to follow. Additionally, the platforms can rely on electronic lists to determine good standing, and may also use an application programming interface to verify this information.
