Bill > SJR0590

This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of Tennessee, which would allow for bingo games to be conducted by certain tax-exempt organizations, specifically those classified as 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19) under the United States Tax Code, for charitable, nonprofit, or community service purposes. The resolution defines "bingo" as a game of chance involving a playing surface with letter and number combinations that match a randomly selected pattern to win prizes, and stipulates that the legislature will establish uniform rules for its implementation and administration. This proposed amendment will be presented to the next General Assembly for consideration and will be published online as required by the state constitution.
