This bill proposes to amend the Code of West Virginia by repealing the requirement for online charitable raffle licensees to use geo-location or geo-fencing technology to verify that participants are located within the state. The current law mandates that licensees must maintain servers in West Virginia for transmitting information related to patron participation, but this requirement will be removed.

Additionally, the bill retains provisions for the annual licensing of charitable or public service organizations to conduct online raffles, ensuring that only one license is granted per organization and its affiliates. The Tax Commissioner will continue to provide a list of active licensees on their website, and licensees must include a hyperlink to this list on their online raffle tickets and display their approved license at their physical location.
