HF 931 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act concerning card game tournaments conducted by qualified organizations representing veterans.

HF 931 removes specific restrictions on card game tournaments run by qualified veterans' organizations in Iowa. It eliminates requirements that every participant must have an equal chance of winning, that no second chances or multiple entries be allowed, and that tournaments must follow strict entry rules. This change directly affects Iowa veterans' groups that are federally chartered, dedicate tournament net proceeds to veterans' causes, and are tax-exempt under federal law. The bill amends Iowa Code section 99B.27 to simplify tournament rules for these designated organizations. The change allows such groups more flexibility in organizing their events without altering their existing financial or tax status.
