H.B. No. 3308 is a bill that aims to amend the Occupations Code to include provisions for charitable raffles conducted by professional sports team charitable foundations associated with rodeo organizations. The bill specifically recognizes organizations that host Professional Rodeo Events and are sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association or the Women's Professional Rodeo Association. It expands the definition of "professional sports team" to include these rodeo organizations and events, thereby allowing them to conduct charitable raffles.

The bill also clarifies the definition of "rodeo venue" to refer to facilities in Texas that are either owned or operated by organizations sanctioned by the aforementioned rodeo associations or those hosting Professional Rodeo Events. This legislative change is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
