Summary

The law lets organizations tied to the Baltimore Orioles or Ravens hold raffles during home games, provided they get a city permit, sell tickets only to adults within defined city boundaries, and follow strict timing and purchase limits. It also extends the existing raffle‑authorizing provisions for baseball‑affiliated groups through June 30 2029 and sets uniform rules for other charitable raffles in Baltimore.
