An Act amending the act of December 19, 1988 (P.L.1262, No.156), known as the Local Option Small Games of Chance Act, in games of chance, providing for payment; and abrogating a regulation.
This bill amends Pennsylvania's Local Option Small Games of Chance Act to update regulations regarding raffle ticket sales. It requires organizations selling raffle tickets to verify that buyers are at least 18 years old and prohibits them from accepting payment from minors. Additionally, the legislation mandates that organizations must not violate federal laws concerning unlawful Internet gambling. By removing references to online raffle sales, the bill clarifies the scope of allowed activities under the existing state law.
