Allows for eligible organizations to use large entertainment venues to conduct raffles in certain municipalities.
This bill allows eligible nonprofit organizations to conduct raffles in large entertainment venues (like stadiums or concert halls) within municipalities that follow New Jersey's Raffles Licensing Law. It specifically permits raffles to be held both in-person and remotely via the internet during declared public health emergencies, with venues required to clearly identify the event and host all sales/drawings on-site. Key changes include removing daily and annual prize value limits for these venue raffles and mandating quarterly financial reports to the Legalized Games Control Commission. The bill also permits Sunday raffles at these venues and exempts them from open-drawing requirements, while requiring winners to be announced by event end and prizes delivered within specified timeframes.
