Summary

Charitable gaming; social organizations and social quarters; electronic gaming. Provides that the conduct of electronic gaming, defined in the bill, is restricted to qualified social organizations on their premises or other qualified organizations that lease the premises of a qualified social organization pursuant to the guidelines set out in the bill. The bill eliminates the exceptions related to the sale of instant bingo, pull tabs, or seal cards or the conduct of bingo games in current law for veterans and fraternal organizations. The bill provides that such qualified organizations shall be subject to two prohibitions that, under current law, apply to all other organizations, as defined in relevant law: (i) they are prohibited from selling instant bingo, pull tabs, or seal cards or conducting bingo games outside of their home locality and (ii) they are prohibited from offering such games at an establishment that has been granted a license by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority unless they hold such license. The bill provides that, with the exception of social organizations qualified under § 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code, all gross receipts attributable to electronic gaming shall be reported to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (the Department) and shall be subject to application, audit, and administration fees. Under the provisions of the bill, social organizations that are exempt from taxation pursuant to § 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code are permitted to conduct electronic gaming until such organizations reach $200,000 in electronic gaming adjusted gross receipts, defined in the bill, during any 12-month period. Such organizations are required to report their adjusted gross receipts to the Department and are subject to application, audit, and administration fees based on their adjusted gross receipts. The bill provides that application fees shall be paid to the Department by the qualified organization and that audit fees may be paid to the Department either by the qualified organization or the electronic gaming manufacturer that provides electronic gaming devices to such organization. The bill imposes on any person or organization conducting charitable gaming without a permit a civil penalty of not less than $25,000 and not more than $50,000 per incident. Finally, the bill sets out via a second enactment provisions that require qualified organizations permitted to conduct electronic gaming to report and pay all required fees to the Department based on such organization's electronic gaming adjusted gross receipts. The provisions of the first enactment of the bill requiring the use of a qualified organization's electronic gaming gross receipts for the purpose of reporting and payment of required fees has an expiration date of July 1, 2024. The provisions of the second enactment of the bill requiring the use of a qualified organization's electronic gaming adjusted gross receipts for the purpose of reporting and payment of required fees has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2024. This bill is identical to HB 763.

Plain-language change summary

The updated bill, SB 403, adds and clarifies several definitions related to bingo and charitable gaming, including what qualifies as a "bingo" game and the role of the Charitable Gaming Board. It now explicitly allows the use of Department-approved electronic devices in bingo games. These changes matter because they modernize the regulations surrounding charitable gaming, ensuring they reflect current practices and technologies, which could potentially help organizations raise more funds for their charitable causes.

Frequently asked questions

What does SB 403 do?
Charitable gaming; social organizations and social quarters; electronic gaming. Provides that the conduct of electronic gaming, defined in the bill, is restricted to qualified social organizations on their premises or other qualified organizations that lease the premises of a qualified social organization pursuant to the guidelines set out in the bill. The bill eliminates the exceptions related to the sale of instant bingo, pull tabs, or seal cards or the conduct of bingo games in current law for veterans and fraternal organizations. The bill provides that such qualified organizations shall be subject to two prohibitions that, under current law, apply to all other organizations, as defined in relevant law: (i) they are prohibited from selling instant bingo, pull tabs, or seal cards or conducting bingo games outside of their home locality and (ii) they are prohibited from offering such games at an establishment that has been granted a license by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority unless they hold such license. The bill provides that, with the exception of social organizations qualified under § 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code, all gross receipts attributable to electronic gaming shall be reported to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (the Department) and shall be subject to application, audit, and administration fees. Under the provisions of the bill, social organizations that are exempt from taxation pursuant to § 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code are permitted to conduct electronic gaming until such organizations reach $200,000 in electronic gaming adjusted gross receipts, defined in the bill, during any 12-month period. Such organizations are required to report their adjusted gross receipts to the Department and are subject to application, audit, and administration fees based on their adjusted gross receipts. The bill provides that application fees shall be paid to the Department by the qualified organization and that audit fees may be paid to the Department either by the qualified organization or the electronic gaming manufacturer that provides electronic gaming devices to such organization. The bill imposes on any person or organization conducting charitable gaming without a permit a civil penalty of not less than $25,000 and not more than $50,000 per incident. Finally, the bill sets out via a second enactment provisions that require qualified organizations permitted to conduct electronic gaming to report and pay all required fees to the Department based on such organization's electronic gaming adjusted gross receipts. The provisions of the first enactment of the bill requiring the use of a qualified organization's electronic gaming gross receipts for the purpose of reporting and payment of required fees has an expiration date of July 1, 2024. The provisions of the second enactment of the bill requiring the use of a qualified organization's electronic gaming adjusted gross receipts for the purpose of reporting and payment of required fees has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2024. This bill is identical to HB 763.
