HR 196 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Gaming - Authorizes certain nonprofit entities to conduct an annual charitable gaming event between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027. -

This Tennessee House resolution authorizes specific nonprofit organizations to hold annual charitable gaming events, such as raffles and reverse raffles, between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027. The bill directly affects a list of approved entities, including the Boys & Girls Clubs, various foundations, and local booster clubs, by granting them permission to conduct these fundraising activities in their respective counties. It lists the names, addresses, dates, and types of events for each approved organization, ensuring compliance with state laws that require legislative approval for such activities. This measure does not create new rules but rather ratifies the specific events that have already been vetted and approved by the state's Division of Charitable Solicitations, Fantasy Sports, and Gaming.
