Baltimore City - Raffles - Organizations Affiliated With a Professional Major League Baseball Team

SB 341 authorizes organizations affiliated with Baltimore's professional major league baseball team (which plays home games in the city) to conduct raffles under specific rules. These groups must obtain a permit from Baltimore City, spend most of their funds locally on charitable, civic, or youth sports purposes, and use electronic ticket sales within Baltimore City boundaries. The bill modifies Maryland's raffle laws (adding Section 13-505.1) to create this exception, while maintaining restrictions against personal profit from raffles or transferring permits. It directly affects MLB-affiliated organizations seeking to raise funds through raffles in Baltimore City.
