House Resolution 130, sponsored by Lamberth, seeks to approve annual events organized by specific 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(19) organizations in Tennessee, in compliance with Article XI, Section 5 of the Tennessee Constitution and the Tennessee Nonprofit Gaming Law. This resolution requires a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the General Assembly to authorize these events, which are intended to benefit the respective charitable organizations.
The resolution specifically approves two annual events for the period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. The first event is the Nashville Junior Chamber Annual Gala, a raffle organized by the Nashville Area Junior Chamber Charities, scheduled for June 29, 2024, in Davidson County. The second event is Jockey & Juleps, another raffle organized by the Rotary Club of Downtown Franklin Charitable Organization, Inc., set to take place on May 4, 2024, in Williamson County.
