This bill aims to amend the Code of West Virginia regarding charitable bingo and the sale and consumption of alcohol during bingo events. It introduces an exemption that allows for the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages at bingo games conducted by Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs). The bill also defines a "Veteran Service Organization" and explicitly includes these organizations as entities authorized to conduct charitable bingo games.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing legal language to clarify that while the sale and consumption of alcohol is generally prohibited in areas where bingo is conducted, this restriction does not apply to VSOs. The amendments to the definitions and regulations surrounding charitable bingo and alcohol sales are intended to facilitate the operations of VSOs while ensuring compliance with state laws.
