This resolution approves annual events for various 501(c) organizations across Tennessee for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, in accordance with Article XI, Section 5 of the Tennessee Constitution and the Tennessee Nonprofit Gaming Law. The resolution specifically authorizes 141 raffles, bingos, and other fundraising events hosted by nonprofit organizations in 32 different counties throughout the state. These events cover a wide range of charitable purposes, including supporting local schools, youth organizations, community centers, medical research, arts programs, and various social service initiatives. Each event is detailed with specific information such as the organizing organization, event address, date, event name, and type of fundraising activity (such as raffle, reverse raffle, or bingo). The resolution requires a two-thirds vote of approval from both houses of the Tennessee General Assembly to authorize these nonprofit gaming events, which is a constitutional requirement designed to provide oversight and transparency for charitable fundraising activities.
