Raffles: Internet advertisement.

The California Constitution prohibits the Legislature from authorizing lotteries, but allows the Legislature to authorize private, nonprofit, eligible organizations to conduct raffles, as specified. Existing statutory law generally regulates raffles conducted by eligible organizations for beneficial or charitable purposes. Existing law prohibits a raffle from being advertised over the Internet. This bill would delete the prohibition on advertising a raffle over the Internet and would set forth specified information regarding a raffle that may be included on an Internet Web site.
