This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Tax Department to promulgate a legislative rule concerning on-line bingo and raffles. Specifically, it references a legislative rule that was filed in the State Register on July 25, 2025, and subsequently modified to address concerns from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on September 24, 2025. The new legal language inserted into the current law includes the designation of the rule as 110 CSR 16A. The primary purpose of this bill is to provide the necessary authorization for the Tax Department to implement regulations governing on-line bingo and raffles, thereby ensuring that these activities are properly regulated under state law. The bill reflects a commitment to modernizing gaming regulations in West Virginia to accommodate new forms of gaming that have emerged.
