Allows for licensed organizations to conduct raffles remotely and to advertise such raffles; removes maximum value limitations for prizes; allows remote raffles on Sundays; requires quarterly reporting of raffle results.
This bill allows licensed nonprofit organizations (like charities, veterans groups, and churches) to conduct raffles remotely via the internet and advertise them statewide. It removes the $500,000 annual prize value limit, permits raffles on Sundays (currently prohibited), and requires organizations to report quarterly to the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission on raffle finances and prizes. Winners must be selected within 365 days, with results posted online for one year. The changes apply only to raffles where all net proceeds support charitable, educational, or religious purposes.
