Constitutional Amendments - Proposes an amendment to Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of Tennessee, to allow for bingo games conducted by 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19) organizations to meet a charitable, nonprofit, or community service purpose. -

This resolution proposes amending Tennessee's constitution to allow 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(19) charitable organizations (like community nonprofits and veterans' groups) to conduct bingo games for community purposes. It would explicitly permit these groups to host bingo events under state law, which currently restricts such activities. Future state legislation would establish uniform statewide rules for these permitted bingo operations. The amendment requires voter approval before taking effect.
