Relative to taxes generated by charitable raffles and bazaars. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill aims to reduce the taxes generated by charitable raffles and bazaars. Specifically, it proposes to remove the requirement for organizations running these events to pay a 5% tax on the gross proceeds. The bill does this by deleting the language in the existing law that mandated this tax. This change would provide more funds for the charitable organizations to use towards their intended purposes, rather than having a portion of the proceeds go to the government in the form of this tax.
