H.B. No. 3308 is a bill that amends the Occupations Code to expand the definition of "professional sports team" and "rodeo venue" in relation to charitable raffles conducted by professional sports team charitable foundations associated with rodeo organizations. The bill specifically includes organizations that host Professional Rodeo Events and are sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association or the Women's Professional Rodeo Association as eligible entities for conducting these raffles.

The amendments to Sections 2004.002(2) and (6) introduce new legal language that clarifies the inclusion of rodeo organizations and events within the existing framework for professional sports teams. The bill also specifies that a "rodeo venue" must be owned or operated by an organization sanctioned by the aforementioned associations or host a Professional Rodeo Event. This legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
