Bill > HB348

This bill makes several changes to Kentucky's laws governing charitable gaming: It repeals and reenacts the definitions related to charitable gaming, including terms like "adjusted gross receipts," "bingo," "charity game ticket," and "charitable gaming facility." It adjusts the membership and meeting schedule of the Charitable Gaming Advisory Commission. It requires applicants for charitable gaming licenses to disclose any prior bad acts by officers or owners, and removes fingerprint requirements for criminal history checks. The bill allows charitable organizations to relocate their office to another Kentucky county without changing their gaming license for one year, and permits them to conduct gaming at a facility in a contiguous county. It eliminates special event raffle licenses. The bill also creates a graduated system of penalties based on the degree to which a licensee fails to meet the 40% rule for retaining charitable gaming net receipts. It increases the maximum daily bingo payout to $10,000, authorizes the use of donated items as bingo prizes, and increases the maximum individual charity game ticket prize to $1,499.
