For legislation to authorize charitable organizations to hire outside staff in the conduct of raffles and bazaars. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 7A of Chapter 271 of the General Laws to authorize charitable organizations to hire outside staff, including paid dealers and game supervisors, to assist in the operation of raffles and bazaars, as long as only qualified members of the sponsoring organization handle the funds collected and disbursed at the event. The purpose of this change is to allow charitable organizations to ensure that the rules of the games are properly administered and complied with, while still maintaining control over the financial aspects of the raffle or bazaar.
