§ 56-4.1202. Enforcement—Authority.

(a)

The sheriff has primary responsibility to enforce this chapter; but the fees provided for herein constitute debts to the county, and the county may bring an appropriate civil action to collect them; and criminal and civil enforcement measures are cumulative and not mutually exclusive.

(b)

When the sheriff has reason to believe that any person soliciting funds for religious, political, or charitable purposes is not turning over not less than seventy-five percent of all funds solicited to such religious, political or charitable purposes, he shall give notice by personal delivery or mail to any such person soliciting funds or to the religious, political or charitable organization, at whatever addresses are then known to the sheriff. Upon receipt of such notice, further solicitation without a permit is prohibited unless the person soliciting funds or the religious, political, or charitable organization gives proof satisfactory to the sheriff within ten days of the date of delivery of or mailing such notice that at least seventy-five percent of all funds solicited are being turned over to such religious, political, or charitable organization and that the organization is a bona fide religious, political, or charitable organization.
