Except as otherwise provided in Sections 836.11 and 836.12, the restrictions of this chapter do not apply to any canvassing activity, as defined in Section 836.01(b), or to youth fundraising activity, as defined in Section 836.01(o). These exceptions are adopted, among other reasons and without limitation, on the following grounds:
(a) That canvassing activity, although it may involve requesting contributions, is principally conducted as an expression of core political speech and presents a lower risk of fraud, theft, or other criminal conduct than that presented by other house-to-house activities.
(c) That youth fundraising activity is engaged in by minors who are likely to be recognized by their neighbors and present a lower risk of fraud, theft, or other criminal conduct than that presented by other house-to-house activities.
