Sen. Hoffner

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 28 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO CHARITABLE GAMING.

This Substitute for House Bill No. 389, like House Bill No. 389, provides for an annual raffle license that will allow a licensee to hold up to 20 raffle events each year, requires the licensee to notify the Board at least 7 days prior to a raffle event, and requires a report to the Board after a raffle is conducted. This Substitute differs from House Bill No. 389 as follows: -It corrects the vote requirement. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 11 of Article VIII of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to impose or levy a tax or license fee. -It changes the annual raffle license fee from $100 to $300. -It adds a requirement that the report to the Board following the conclusion of a raffle must include all of the information required in a report after a game under section 1521 of Title 28. -It clarifies that the number of days in which a report after a game must be filed with the Board is increased from 30 to 60 if the game in question is a raffle event conducted by the holder of an annual raffle license. -It makes technical changes to conform with the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. -It specifies that the Act takes effect 6 months after its enactment into law.
