AI Summary
This bill exempts fantasy contests from certain state regulations and gambling-related offenses. It defines a "fantasy contest" as a game or contest where the value of prizes is known in advance, the winning outcomes are determined predominantly by the relative skill and knowledge of the participants, and no winning outcome is based solely on the performance of a single team, individual athlete, or team in a single event. The bill also defines a "fantasy contest operator" as a person or entity that offers or conducts a fantasy contest with an entry fee for a cash prize, and exempts such operators as well as individual participants who serve as commissioners of up to 10 fantasy contests per year from the specified state regulations and offenses.
