Relating to the sale of charitable raffle tickets by certain nonprofit wildlife conservation associations.

SB 2254 would allow qualified nonprofit wildlife conservation associations (including local chapters) to sell charitable raffle tickets online only to their existing supporters through the organization’s website. It prohibits these groups from using paid mass media (like TV, radio, or newspapers) to promote raffles, advertising statewide beyond their website or targeted communications, or selling tickets outside this online channel. The bill specifically bans animated raffle entries or drawings on websites. This bill directly affects wildlife conservation nonprofits seeking to fundraise via raffles, restricting their promotional methods while permitting limited digital sales to established supporters. The bill is pending in committee and would take effect September 1, 2025, if passed.
