What’s in it

AI summary If someone wins a prize at a charity gambling event but isn't there to collect it, the organization must now notify them within one year. Under the current rules, these groups only had to contact the winner as soon as they could. This change sets a specific deadline for organizations to reach out to absent winners.¹

Read the official explanation

For purposes of social and charitable gambling, this bill requires a licensed qualified organization to send notification to a winner of a prize who is not present when the prize is awarded within one year of the prize being awarded. Current law requires a licensed qualified organization to notify an absent winner as soon as practical.

Changed since by amendment H-8007; see Amendments.
