AN ACT to create and enact a new subsection to section 53-06.1-11.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the payment of a veterans organization's club expenses with net proceeds from charitable gaming.

SB 2288 allows North Dakota veterans organizations to use up to 20% of their quarterly net profits from approved charitable gaming events (like raffles or bingo) to cover costs for food, beverages (including alcohol), and operating their club. It specifically permits one club per organization and applies only to expenses directly tied to that club's operations. The bill changes existing law to clarify how veterans groups can fund their social facilities using revenue from their charitable activities. This policy directly affects licensed veterans organizations in North Dakota that host charitable gaming events.
