Requires a person associated with a criminal justice agency who makes a telephone call for the purpose of soliciting contributions for a charitable organization comprised of members who are current or retired law-enforcement officers to state that he is not calling on behalf of the criminal justice agency or in the course of the criminal justice agency's official duties, and that the charitable organization on whose behalf the telephone call is being made is comprised of members who are current or retired law-enforcement officers. These disclosures are in addition to the identifying disclosures required when telephone solicitation calls are made for commercial purposes.
