                      IDAHO CHARITABLE SOLICITATION ACT
    48-1203.  UNLAWFUL ACTS. (1) It is unlawful for any person, except a
religious corporation, a religious association, a religious educational
institution or a religious society, in the planning, conduct or execution of
any charitable solicitation, to utilize any unfair, false, deceptive,
misleading or unconscionable act or practice. In deciding whether an act or
practice is unfair, false, deceptive, misleading or unconscionable within the
meaning of this subsection, definitions, standards and interpretations
relating thereto under the Idaho consumer protection act and regulations
promulgated thereunder shall apply.
    (2)  It is unlawful for a religious corporation, a religious association,
a religious educational institution or a religious society, in the planning,
conduct or execution of any charitable solicitation, knowingly and willfully
to utilize any false, deceptive or misleading act or practice.
    (3)  It is unlawful for any person or charitable organization to use a
container in a public place to solicit contributions by offering a product for
sale knowing the container does not have a disclosure label affixed to it.
However, no charitable organization shall be liable under this subsection if
the container generates less than a gross amount of one hundred dollars ($100)
per year or the charitable organization generates less than a gross amount of
five hundred dollars ($500) per year from all sources for any charitable
purpose or purposes.  It is an absolute defense to prosecution under this
subsection if the person or charitable organization soliciting contributions
has given one hundred percent (100%) of the receipts generated by the
container to the designated charitable organization to further the charitable
purpose or purposes for which contributions were solicited.
