Bill > SB0108

This bill modifies Indiana's charity gaming regulations by introducing several key provisions. Beginning January 1, 2026, facilities can only be used for bingo events or casino game nights on a maximum of three calendar days per week, regardless of the number of qualified organizations conducting events. The bill expands how qualified organizations can use net proceeds from gaming activities, allowing them to use funds for any lawful purpose instead of the previous more restrictive guidelines. For qualified organizations with annual casino game night gross receipts over $1 million, an independent audit by a certified public accountant will be required as part of the license renewal process. The legislation also introduces new requirements for casino game night workers, mandating that they wear identification cards displaying their name and their organization's name. Additionally, the bill allows qualified organizations to conduct electronic raffles, subject to specific commission-approved standards, including age verification, location tracking, and in-person winner determination. The electronic raffle system must ensure participants are located within Indiana and are at least 18 years old, and payment can only be accepted from individuals physically present in the state. These changes aim to modernize and provide more flexible oversight of charity gaming activities in Indiana.
