Gaming - As enacted, creates a five-day window after the effective date of this act for nonprofit organizations seeking to operate an annual event for the annual event period beginning on July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, to submit its annual event application to the secretary of state. - Amends TCA Title 3, Chapter 17.

This bill modifies Tennessee's charitable gaming rules to give nonprofit organizations a five-day grace period after the law takes effect to submit applications for annual gaming events during the 2026-2027 period. It directly affects nonprofits that want to operate charitable gaming events in Tennessee during that specific year by allowing them to apply after the standard deadline. The legislation also requires the Secretary of State to create and share a separate list of approved organizations for this period within ten days of the bill becoming law. These changes are administrative updates to the existing charitable gaming framework rather than new regulations on how events are conducted.
