Permits educational organizations to conduct bingo games with prizes for participating students under certain circumstances.
This bill allows registered educational organizations (like schools or parent-teacher associations) to host bingo games exclusively for their affiliated students, including those under 18. It requires written parental consent for minors and limits total prize value to $100 per event. The bill modifies New Jersey’s existing bingo law to permit this exception, while requiring organizations to follow all other bingo licensing rules. It specifically enables these groups to fundraise by charging parents for student participation in such events.
