1306.3Solicitor information cards shall be supplied at cost.

 

1306.4Each solicitor information card shall be serially numbered and shall bear following information:

 

(a)The name and address of the solicitor;

 

(b)The number of certificate of registration under the authority of which the solicitor solicits contributions;

 

(c)The name of the registrant;

 

(d)The dates within which solicitations may be made;

 

(e)A statement that the card does not constitute an endorsement of the solicitation by the District of Columbia, or by any officer or employee of the District; and

 

(f)Other information or conditions that the Director may require.

 

1306.5The Director may, in his or her discretion, issue solicitor information cards with the names of the solicitors omitted. If the cards are issued without names, the names of the solicitors shall subsequently be furnished to the Director at the Director's request.

 

1306.6The Director may, in connection with any request for solicitor information cards, require the registrant to submit a list in triplicate of the names and addresses of the persons for whom the cards are being requested, and the Director may either prepare or cause to be prepared a solicitor information card for each name appearing on the list, or the Director may serially number the names of the list and issue like-numbered cards to the registrant, for completion in accordance with the requirements of this section.

 

1306.7No registrant to whom the Director issues serially numbered cards against a serially numbered list of names shall issue any card to any person other than the person indicated on the list of names by the same number as that appearing on a card.

 

1306.8No registrant issued a completely filled-out solicitor information card shall distribute the card to any person other than the person named on the card.

 

1306.9No person other than the person whose name appears on the solicitor information card shall be issued that card or be authorized to use the card by a person whose name does not appear on the card, even if the person is employed by a registrant to make solicitations, shall be a violation of this chapter.

 

1306.10Each registrant shall be responsible for carrying out and securing compliance with the provisions of this section and § 1307. Failure or refusal of any registrant or solicitor to comply with the provisions of these sections shall be grounds for the suspension or revocation of the certificate of registration issued to the registrant.
