Bill > H229

This bill amends existing Massachusetts law concerning raffles and bazaars, which are types of fundraising events often held by charitable organizations. Specifically, it changes the reporting requirements for these events. First, it modifies the threshold for reporting the value of prizes, moving from a fixed amount of "twenty-five dollars in value" to a value that will be determined by the attorney general, the state's chief legal officer. Second, it adds an exemption to the reporting of winners' names, stating that such reporting is not required for minor children.
