What’s in it

This bill concerns the frequency and timing of card game tournaments conducted by a qualified organization representing veterans. Current law prohibits the holding of a card game tournament by a qualified veterans organization within seven calendar days of another card game tournament conducted by that organization and limits the maximum number of such card game tournaments to be held in a month to two. The bill eliminates the per-month maximum and only prohibits holding a card game tournament within six calendar days of another card game tournament.
