Description
Charitable gaming; regulations of the Charitable Gaming Board; prohibited acts. Limits the number of bingo games per session to no more than 50; requires the Charitable Gaming Board to adopt regulations prescribing (i) the condition by which nonmembers of an organization may participate in the conduct of bingo so long as the nonmembers are under the direct supervision of a bona fide member of the organization during the bingo game and (ii) the minimum time interval required between the conduct of bingo games, which time shall not be less than 30 minutes; increases the number of Lucky 7 and other progressive bingo games from one to six per session; and eliminates winner-take-all games. The bill also requires that the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services shall report to the chairs of the House Committee on General Laws and the Senate Committee on General Laws and Technology on or before December 1, 2010 concerning the Department's efforts to increase the number of Department-approved independent laboratory testers in order to expedite the Department's approval process for new charitable games. The bill is a recommendation of the Special Subcommittees of the House Committee on General Laws and the Senate Committee on General Laws and Technology. Read the Bill »

Comments
Vote NO on House Bill 950. Leave Bingo alone. What difference does it make if there are 55 games or 65 games in a session? Why make any changes? What is the reason behind these changes? This is the main social enjoyment for many people. For some it’s their ONLY activity. I for one think there should be fewer restrictions not more.

Vote NO on House Bill 950 or change it asap! This is getting ridiculous on how bingo is picked on and I, for one, will NOT forget whom introduced this bill or the followers to come in 2011. We need to ALL get involved more so we know in advance exactly the bills that are introduced by the people "we" put in office and how "we" feel about them rather than assume they'll represent us! Cut their pay instead of these type changes to make money to fix the budget!
