Revise Law on Instant Bingo.

HB 988 revises North Carolina's laws governing instant bingo games, primarily affecting nonprofit organizations (like community groups and veterans' associations) that operate these games. The bill clarifies that "instant bingo" involves prepackaged paper or digital tickets with winners determined by a preselected symbol, and sets a $600 maximum prize per instant bingo game (compared to $500 for regular bingo). It requires electronic instant bingo systems to meet GLI-14 safety standards, restricts sessions to two per week (max 5 hours each), and mandates that all funds from games be kept in a separate account for approved charitable purposes only. The law also specifies that only certain exempt organizations (those under IRS 501(c)(8), (10), or (19)) may conduct instant bingo.
