The bill authorizes bona fide charitable or nonprofit organizations in Washington State to conduct shooting sports and activities sweepstakes without needing a permit or license from the commission. These sweepstakes will not be classified as gambling or lotteries, thus exempting them from civil or criminal penalties. The outcomes of these sweepstakes must depend on the performance of individual shooters or teams in shooting contests. The bill outlines various methods for placing wagers, including ticket purchases for a chance to win based on contest outcomes, contributions to a common fund based on scoring, and auctions for bidding on shooters or teams.

Additionally, the bill specifies that participation in these sweepstakes is limited to members of the sponsoring organization and their bona fide guests. It defines "shooting sports" to include activities such as target shooting, skeet, trap, sporting clays, "5" stand, and archery. This new section added to chapter 9.46 RCW aims to promote shooting sports while ensuring compliance with existing laws regarding gambling and lotteries.
