A 8667 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Permits employees of authorized organizations to operate games of chance

This bill amends New York's General Municipal Law to clarify who may operate games of chance (like raffles) for authorized organizations, such as nonprofits. It specifies that only bona fide members or employees of the licensed organization, its auxiliary, or affiliated group can manage or operate these games. Key provisions require certification that operators are legitimate employees, prohibit non-employees from receiving payment for operating games, and restrict equipment ownership to the licensed organization. The bill directly affects nonprofit groups running permitted gambling events, ensuring operations are managed internally by their own staff or members.
