AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL OFFENSES -- GAMBLING AND LOTTERIES

Summary

The bill lets charitable and nonprofit groups hold permitted games of chance—like bingo, beano, raffles, lotteries, or a “twenty‑week club”—if they file an annual registration with the state police and meet detailed reporting requirements. It removes the need for local law‑enforcement background checks, but the state police must approve each application. The measure aims to provide oversight while expanding fundraising options for nonprofits.
