Each fiscal year, the department of revenue divides moneys in the fund equally among counties in which no licensee authorized to conduct gambling games under Code chapter 99F is located, to distribute percent as grants to charitable organizations for charitable purposes in that county and to retain percent for use in establishing a permanent endowment fund for the benefit of charitable organizations for charitable purposes. This bill narrows the definition of “charitable organization” for purposes of the fund to only those located in this state.
