Bill Summary
This bill would permit the use of credit cards, debit cards, and other electronic payment devices for the sale of shares, tickets, or rights to participate in raffles, bingo games, penny auctions, and any other legalized games of chance the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission deems appropriate. The bill requires the commission to adopt regulations to accept credit cards and other electronic payments. Current law does not expressly permit the use of credit card or electronic payments to purchase shares, tickets, or rights to participate in legalized games of chance such as raffles, bingo, and penny auctions.
AI Summary
This bill allows organizations licensed to conduct legalized games of chance, such as bingo, raffles, and penny auctions, to accept credit cards, debit cards, or other electronic payment methods for the purchase of tickets or rights to participate. The Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission, which oversees these activities, is required to create specific rules and regulations to implement this change, as current law does not explicitly permit these electronic payment options for such games.
