Bingo halls; revise distribution of proceeds.

HB 1262 would have required Mississippi's Gaming Commission to approve any distribution of at least 35% of net bingo game proceeds to charities outside Mississippi. It directly affected charitable organizations in Mississippi that operate bingo games, clarifying that such out-of-state distributions could not occur without Commission approval. The bill amended existing law to add this approval requirement, while keeping the 35% minimum for administrative costs or charitable use. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
