Changing the age for determining when a slot machine is an antique for purposes of exempting such devices from criminal gambling statutes.
SB 376 amends Kansas law to change the definition of an "antique slot machine" for gambling exemptions. It replaces the fixed cutoff date (manufactured before 1950) with a moving standard: a machine qualifies as antique if manufactured at least 50 years before the offense date. This change directly affects owners of older slot machines who might otherwise face criminal charges under gambling statutes, as it exempts antique machines not operated for gambling. The bill updates sections 21-6407 and 21-6408 of Kansas law to reflect this new age requirement, repealing the previous language.
