This Substitute for House Bill No. 389, like House Bill No. 389, provides for an annual raffle license that will allow a licensee to hold up to 20 raffle events each year, requires the licensee to notify the Board at least 7 days prior to a raffle event, and requires a report to the Board after a raffle is conducted.
This Substitute differs from House Bill No. 389 as follows:
-It corrects the vote requirement. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 11 of Article VIII of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to impose or levy a tax or license fee.
-It changes the annual raffle license fee from $100 to $300.
-It adds a requirement that the report to the Board following the conclusion of a raffle must include all of the information required in a report after a game under section 1521 of Title 28.
-It clarifies that the number of days in which a report after a game must be filed with the Board is increased from 30 to 60 if the game in question is a raffle event conducted by the holder of an annual raffle license.
-It makes technical changes to conform with the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
-It specifies that the Act takes effect 6 months after its enactment into law.
