AR penalty: risk class felony → unclassified

AR penalty: mechanism DTPA enforcement: civil penalty up to 10K per violation + Class A misdemeanor for knowing violations + felony for fraud scenarios → DTPA remedies, penalties, restitution, and injunction (Act 1198 § 16); description Arkansas charitable solicitation violations are deflected to the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (A.C.A. § 4-88-101 et seq.) via § 4-28-416. The Attorney General may seek remedies, penalties, restitution, and injunctive relief — including civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation under § 4-88-113. Knowing/willful conduct can additionally constitute a Class A misdemeanor or, in certain fraud scenarios, a felony. Enforcement reaches both Arkansas-domiciled organizations and any organization soliciting Arkansas residents. → A violation of the Charitable Solicitations Act of 1999 is an unfair and deceptive act under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act, § 4-88-101 et seq., and DTPA remedies are available to the Attorney General (Act 1198 § 16). § 4-28-416 as added by Act 727 of 2017 is AG access to records filed with the Secretary of State, not the DTPA deflection. Class A misdemeanor / felony language is not the current 4-28 penalty.; short label Arkansas (DTPA enforcement: AG remedies, civil penalty up to $10,000/violation, restitution, injunctive relief) → Arkansas (DTPA: a violation of the 1999 Act is an unfair and deceptive act; AG remedies); source url https://law.justia.com/codes/arkansas/title-4/subtitle-3/chapter-28/subchapter-4/section-4-28-416/ → https://arkleg.state.ar.us/Home/FTPDocument?path=%2FACTS%2F1999%2FPublic%2FACT1198.pdf; criminal scope organization → both; source quote replaced
