The governing body of the City of Charlotte is hereby authorized to regulate, by ordinance, any and all public solicitations within the City for any charitable, benevolent, health, educational, religious, patriotic or other similar cause; provided, that such ordinance shall not apply to any solicitation made by any church or religious organization, school or college, fraternal or patriotic organization, or civic club when such solicitation is confined to their respective memberships. Such ordinance may provide for a separate board, body or commission to administer the ordinance in accordance with the rules and standards prescribed therein; may provide for regulation of the time, place and manner of soliciting; may require registration and permits and impose such fees therefor as may defray the reasonable costs thereof; may require and cause to be published such information as will tend to insure that the purpose of any solicitation will be free from any element of deceit or fraud; and may include such other requirements as may reasonably protect the public from fraudulent solicitations.
