Bill > HB47

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow the Alabama Legislature to authorize, license, tax, and regulate the operation of traditional paper raffles and traditional paper bingo, but only when conducted for noncommercial charitable fundraising purposes. The bill would amend Section 65 of the Alabama Constitution, which currently prohibits the state legislature from authorizing lotteries and gift enterprises. The proposed amendment would create a new Section 65.1 to carve out an exception for these specific charitable paper-based activities. If approved by voters, the amendment would take effect upon ratification.
