LB 1047 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Authorize music bingo under the Nebraska Bingo Act and change provisions relating to special event bingo and prizes that can be awarded under the act

This bill allows Nebraska nonprofits to host "music bingo" events where winning is based on song titles, artists, or music genres instead of traditional numbered bingo. It raises the maximum prize value for bingo games from $25 to $50 and updates rules for special event bingo. The changes directly affect licensed nonprofit organizations operating under the Nebraska Bingo Act, enabling them to offer music-themed games and higher-value prizes while maintaining existing licensing requirements. The bill amends key sections of the Nebraska Bingo Act to clarify definitions and update prize limits.
