Bill > HCR107

This concurrent resolution establishes the Charitable Gaming Modernization Task Force, a group tasked with reviewing and recommending updates to Kentucky's laws and regulations governing charitable gaming. Charitable gaming, which includes activities like raffles and bingo, is a significant fundraising tool for various nonprofit organizations in Kentucky, such as schools, veterans' groups, and fire departments, supporting essential community services. The task force, composed of ten members from the Kentucky House of Representatives and Senate, will conduct a comprehensive review of existing statutes (primarily KRS Chapters 230 and 238), gather input from licensed charitable organizations, compare Kentucky's rules to those in other states, examine licensing processes, and ultimately propose changes to make the system clearer, more efficient, and better aligned with modern practices, while ensuring integrity and transparency. The task force is expected to submit its findings and recommendations by December 1, 2026, though the Legislative Research Commission has the flexibility to assign the study to a committee or set a different completion date.
