creating local options for games of chance, authorizing keno throughout the state, and changing charitable gaming license fees and reporting requirements.

HB 737 authorizes keno gaming statewide, allowing counties to offer it as a new option for local games of chance. It changes license fees for charitable organizations running gaming events and updates their reporting requirements to simplify compliance. The bill directly affects local governments (which can now implement keno), charitable groups (through adjusted fees), and gaming operators (with new reporting rules). The law takes effect on July 1, 2025, for most provisions, with key changes like keno authorization becoming active on June 1, 2027.
