This bill amends Iowa's Code chapter 99B, which governs social and charitable gambling, by removing the prohibition on calendar raffles conducted by licensed qualified organizations. Specifically, it deletes subsection 11 of Section 99B.1 and modifies subsection 1, paragraph d of Section 99B.24 to clarify that while calendar raffles are no longer prohibited, build-up or pyramid raffles remain banned.

The change allows licensed organizations to conduct calendar raffles, which are defined as single-entry raffles with winners selected over multiple dates. This amendment aims to provide more opportunities for fundraising through calendar raffles while maintaining restrictions on other types of raffles that may be considered less favorable.
