House Bill No. 337, introduced by Representative Beaullieu, amends R.S. 4:710(A) to increase the number of special bingo sessions that a licensed organization can conduct annually. The bill changes the limit from two sessions to four sessions per year, allowing organizations to offer more opportunities for charitable bingo events. The total amount of prizes awarded on any single day under this special license remains capped at $25,000 in cash or other valuables.

The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated time for bills to become law without signature. If the governor vetoes the bill and it is later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval.
