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 stipulates that these organizations may use net income from raffles for political purposes, which was previously not allowed.

The bill also outlines the application process for permits, which must be submitted to the governing body of the city or county where the gaming activity will take place. It establishes that organizations can conduct various gaming activities, with specific prize limits, and requires them to disclose the intended use of net income. Furthermore, it removes the previous language that restricted the use of net income for political purposes, thereby allowing eligible organizations to allocate funds accordingly.
