Bill > SB190

This bill modifies Kentucky's laws regarding charitable gaming by making two key changes: First, it allows charitable gaming volunteers to serve at up to six charitable gaming events or sessions per week, expanding their previous participation limits. Second, it increases the number of weekly bingo sessions that a licensed charitable organization can conduct from two to three sessions, while also extending the total permitted hours from ten to fifteen hours per week. These modifications aim to provide more flexibility for charitable organizations in hosting gaming events, potentially allowing them to raise more funds for their causes. The bill specifically updates existing statutes in Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 238.540 and 238.545, with an effective date of July 1, 2025. The changes maintain existing restrictions on compensation, prize values, and age limitations for participants, ensuring that charitable gaming remains a regulated fundraising activity that prioritizes the nonprofit mission of the organizations involved.
