Senate Bill 941 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 3, Chapter 17, concerning charitable gaming. The bill allows nonprofit organizations to submit an annual event application for the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, within five calendar days after the act's effective date. This provision is a new insertion into the law, replacing the previous submission deadline. Additionally, the bill mandates that the secretary provide an additional omnibus listing of organizations approved for this annual event period, which must be submitted to the clerks of the senate and house of representatives within ten calendar days after the act's effective date.

Furthermore, the bill removes certain subdivisions and a subsection from the existing law, specifically deleting subdivisions (d)(1)(A)(ii) and (iii), as well as subsection (f). These deletions streamline the regulations surrounding charitable gaming and the application process for nonprofit organizations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for the public welfare.
