The bill amends the Traxler-McCauley-Law-Bowman Bingo Act by updating Section 5d, which pertains to raffle licenses for qualified organizations. It allows these organizations to apply for an unlimited number of small and large raffle licenses, but stipulates that only one small raffle license can be issued per location each day. Additionally, if a small raffle license is issued for multiple dates, all drawing locations must be the same.
Furthermore, the bill introduces a provision that prohibits firearms as prizes for raffles held at schools, defining "firearm" according to existing law and specifying that "school" refers to public or private institutions for grades K-12, excluding home schools. It also clarifies that qualified organizations are exempt from licensing requirements if they conduct a raffle at a single gathering with no presale of tickets and the total value of prizes does not exceed $100.
