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 raffle prizes if the drawing location is a school, defining "firearm" and "school" for clarity. It also modifies the existing exemption for qualified organizations from obtaining a license, specifying that they are excused from licensing requirements if they conduct a raffle at a single gathering without presale of tickets, provided the total retail value of the prizes does not exceed $100.
