This bill amends subsection 1 of section 53-06.1-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, specifically addressing the eligibility of public-spirited organizations to use raffle proceeds for political purposes. The amendment clarifies that organizations recognized as nonfederal candidate campaign committees, nonfederal political action committees, state political parties, or legislative district party committees must be recognized as "public-spirited organizations" to apply for permits. Additionally, it allows these organizations to use net income from raffles for political purposes, which was previously restricted.

The bill also outlines the application process for permits, stating that organizations must disclose their intended use of net income from gaming activities. It establishes that a governing body may issue permits for specific gaming activities and sets a fee limit for these permits. Furthermore, it specifies that organizations with a restricted event permit are limited to one event per year and must adhere to certain operational guidelines, including the prohibition of employee remuneration for personal services and the requirement to file reports with the governing body and attorney general.
