Current Bill Summary

SB 328 - This act authorizes a charitable organization to conduct sweepstakes using sweepstakes terminal devices located on their premises. A sweepstakes may offer chances to win based on contributions to the charity, but must also provide a method to obtain chances to win without the participant contributing something of value. The terminal device may display simulation casino-type games, but the simulations can have no effect on the chance to win.
