This bill amends the definition of "charitable organization" in RSA 287-D:1, IV(a) to explicitly exclude abortion providers from this classification for the purposes of games of chance. The new legal language states that "charitable organization" shall not include an abortion provider, thereby restricting these entities from participating in activities that fall under the games of chance regulations. The bill maintains the existing criteria for what constitutes a charitable organization, which includes various types of organizations that have been registered and in existence for at least one year.

The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, reinforcing the legislative intent to limit the involvement of abortion providers in charitable gaming activities. This change reflects a broader policy decision regarding the categorization of organizations eligible for such activities, aligning with the bill's objective to restrict abortion providers from being recognized as charitable organizations in this context.
