BILL NUMBER: S7801 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to eliminating the cap on the total raffle prize amount permissible for a license period PURPOSE : This bill eliminates the $100,000 cap on the total raffle prize amount permissible for a license period. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Subdivisions 6 and 8 of section 189 of the general municipal law are amended to eliminate the $100,000 aggregate cap on a series of prizes awarded by raffle during a license period. JUSTIFICATION : Currently not-for-profit organizations conducting raffles are limited to awarding prizes totaling no more than $100,000 in a license period. As funding, especially from public sources, becomes scarce, organizations are relying heavily on raffles as a fundraising tool. This legislation will allow not-for-profit organizations to maximize opportunities for fundraising and self-sufficiency. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
