Senate Bill 941, also known as House Bill 1337, amends the Tennessee Code Annotated regarding charitable gaming. The bill allows nonprofit organizations to submit an annual event application within five calendar days after the act's effective date for the annual event period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. This provision is a new insertion into the law, providing a specific timeline for applications that was not previously established.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the secretary transfer an additional omnibus listing of organizations approved for the aforementioned annual event period, ensuring that this list is provided to the clerks of the senate and house of representatives within ten calendar days after the act's effective date. The bill also removes certain subdivisions and a subsection from the existing law, streamlining the process for charitable gaming events. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
