House Bill No. 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 maximum number of sessions from two to four, allowing organizations to hold more charitable bingo events each year. Additionally, it maintains the existing limit on the total amount of prizes awarded in a single day under such a license, which remains capped at twenty-five thousand dollars.

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. This legislative change aims to enhance the opportunities for charitable organizations to raise funds through bingo events.
