Increasing the gross revenue threshold for unlicensed bingo, raffles, and amusement games conducted by charitable or nonprofit organizations.

HB 1364 increases the annual gross revenue threshold for charitable and nonprofit organizations from $5,000 to $15,000 for conducting unlicensed bingo, raffles, and amusement games. This change allows these organizations to generate more revenue from fundraising activities without requiring a state license or paying local taxes on the first $15,000 of revenue. The bill updates related tax exemptions in Washington state law (RCW 9.46.110) to align with the new threshold. It directly affects nonprofits that use these games as a primary fundraising method, providing greater flexibility while maintaining existing operational requirements like member-only participation and record-keeping.
