BILL NUMBER: S726
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the general municipal law, in
relation to establishing age sixteen as the minimum age for assisting
in the conduct of any game of bingo
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
To allow individuals age sixteen and seventeen to assist in the
conducting of bingo games.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
The bill amends section 486 of the general municipal law to allow
individuals age sixteen and seventeen to assist in bingo games.
JUSTIFICATION :
This legislation would allow individuals who are sixteen and seventeen
to assist in conducting bingo games. This legislation would in no way
allow them to run games. But this legislation would expand the areas
they can work in. Many volunteer organizations use younger members at
bingo fund raising events to help get them involved in the
organization. Under current law, there is an extremely limited scope
of what these younger members can legally do. This legislation would
still prevent them from conducting bingo games, but it would expand
