The bill amends section 53-06.1-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, specifically focusing on the limitations regarding the value of primary prizes that permitted organizations can award during gaming activities. The amendment allows organizations recognized as public-spirited by local governing bodies to apply for permits to conduct various gaming activities, including raffles, bingo, sports pools, paddlewheels, twenty-one, and poker.

Key changes in the bill include an increase in the maximum allowable primary prize from eight thousand dollars to fifteen thousand dollars, and an increase in the total prize limit from forty thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars per year for all games conducted by the organization or closely related organizations. Additionally, the bill clarifies that these maximum prize amounts do not apply to raffles conducted under chapter 20.1-08, and it emphasizes that the determination of what constitutes a "public-spirited organization" is at the discretion of the governing body.
