AI Summary
This bill amends the Charitable Games Act to increase the number of charitable games events that can be held at a single location and by individuals involved in managing or operating these events. Specifically, it raises the limit for bona fide members, volunteers, or employees of an organization participating in the management or operation of charitable games from 12 to 48 events per calendar year, requiring a sworn statement to confirm this. It also increases the maximum number of charitable games nights allowed at any one premises from 12 to 48 per calendar year, and allows a provider, who offers the premises for these games, to host up to 48 events in a 12-month period. Furthermore, a licensee can obtain a provider's license to allow their premises to be used for an additional 8 charitable game events per year, up from the previous limit of 4. The bill also permits providers and suppliers to promote or solicit charitable games events on behalf of a licensed organization, and allows an employee of a supplier to assist the charity during an event.
