The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 609.761, subdivision 3, to expand the list of authorized card games to include "hasenpfeffer." This addition allows for tournaments or contests involving this game, alongside other card games such as cribbage, skat, sheepshead, bridge, euchre, and Texas hold'em, without violating existing laws on gaming. The bill maintains the stipulations that these tournaments must not provide direct financial benefits to organizers, and that the total value of prizes awarded does not exceed $200.

Additionally, the bill includes a new effective date provision, stating that the changes will take effect the day following final enactment. This ensures that the inclusion of hasenpfeffer as an authorized card game is implemented promptly after the legislative process is complete.
