SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Charitable gaming; regulations related to electronic devices; prohibited practices. Prohibits the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services from promulgating regulations that prohibit devices that (i) display spinning, rotating, or rolling reels or animations, flashing lights, or any other form of enhanced animation or (ii) accept tickets. The bill also repeals the provisions that, under current law, prohibit a qualified organization from using any part of its gross receipts or electronic gaming adjusted gross receipts for any purpose other than (a) gaming expenses; (b) reasonable and proper business expenses; and (c) those lawful religious, charitable, community, or educational purposes for which the organization is specifically chartered or organized, and that prohibit an organization from using any part of its charitable gaming gross receipts for such organization's social or recreational activities. Finally, the bill exempts progressive prizes from certain progressive pull tab games and statewide progressive pull tab games from the provision that places a limit on the amount of any prize money or value of any merchandise an organization may award as a prize from the conduct of certain charitable gaming activities.
