Bill overview
This bill prohibits raffling off firearms at fundraisers held on school property. It amends existing state law to specifically prevent schools from hosting events where firearms are raffled off as prizes. The bill maintains the ability for charitable organizations to obtain raffle licenses for other prizes, with restrictions on the number of licenses issued per location and day. It also includes an exception for single fundraising events with prizes valued at $100 or less, exempting the organization from needing a license.
