Summary

The bill changes Mississippi’s charitable bingo law so that no more than 65% of a game’s net proceeds must be used for the organization’s charitable purpose, while at least 35% can cover administrative costs or be sent to out‑of‑state charities without Gaming Commission approval. It also bars bingo proceeds from being used to build or improve bingo facilities and requires organizations to file public reports with the Mississippi Gaming Commission. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2026.
