Bill > A07128

This bill amends the New York General Municipal Law to clarify regulations around internet sales of raffle tickets. Specifically, the bill modifies existing provisions that previously required raffle ticket sales to occur in the same county or a contiguous county where the raffle license was issued. For raffle tickets sold over the internet, the bill stipulates that the sale will be legally considered as occurring on the premises of the authorized organization or authorized games of chance lessor, regardless of geographic location. This change effectively removes geographic restrictions for internet raffle ticket sales while maintaining the requirement that raffles can only be conducted in municipalities that have specifically approved games of chance through local laws or resolutions. The amendment appears designed to modernize raffle regulations to accommodate online ticket sales while preserving local control over gambling activities.
