HB 4550 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Gaming: bingo and charitable gaming; raffling off firearms at fundraisers on school grounds; prohibit. Amends sec. 5d of 1972 PA 382 (MCL 432.105d).

HB 4550 amends Michigan's bingo and charitable gaming law (MCL 432.105d) to prohibit qualified organizations from offering firearms as prizes in raffles held on school grounds. This directly affects schools, charities, and other groups hosting raffles on public or private K-12 school property. The key provision adds a specific ban: raffles at schools cannot include firearms as prizes, with "firearm" defined under existing law and "school" excluding homeschools. The amendment clarifies that this prohibition applies to all raffles conducted on school grounds, regardless of the raffle's size or prize value.
