AI Summary
This bill repeals two existing laws related to charitable gaming and amends a third law to provide more detailed regulations around the promotion, operation, and conduct of raffles and bazaars (commonly referred to as casino nights or Las Vegas nights) by certain eligible organizations, such as veterans' groups, churches, and educational or charitable organizations. The bill sets limits on the number of bazaars an organization can hold, requires permits and reporting, imposes a 5% tax on gross proceeds, and establishes penalties for violations. It also allows cities and towns to prohibit raffles and bazaars through local ordinances.
