Exempts auctioneers from certain charitable solicitation requirements in Colorado.

The bill modifies the Colorado Charitable Solicitations Act by excluding auctioneers from the definition of "paid solicitor." This exemption means auctioneers are not required to register, obtain a bond, file solicitation notices, or submit financial reports as other paid solicitors must. The exemption applies whether the auctioneer is contracted, paid, or volunteering without compensation, provided they do not directly receive or handle monetary contributions on behalf of the charitable organization. The act takes effect on August 12, 2026, unless a referendum petition is filed.
