Bill > SB160

This bill modifies the rules for raffles held in conjunction with bingo games in New Hampshire. Specifically, the legislation removes the requirement that raffle tickets be numbered sequentially and increases the maximum ticket price from $1 to $10. The bill also changes the restrictions on who can sell raffle tickets, eliminating the previous limitation that only members of a licensed charitable organization could sell tickets at their bingo games. Additionally, the bill raises the maximum wholesale value of prizes that can be awarded in these raffles from $500 to $1,200. These changes are intended to provide more flexibility for charitable organizations conducting bingo games and raffles. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and according to the fiscal note, it is not expected to have any financial impact on state, county, or local governments since the Lottery Commission does not oversee or collect fees for these types of raffles.
