Item 2
Bill Tracking Chamber Status

Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:

Sec. 1. 17 MRSA §324-A, sub-§2, ¶C,  as enacted by PL 2003, c. 452, Pt. I, §10 and affected by Pt. X, §2, is amended to read:

C.  Lucky seven or similar sealed tickets may be sold when that game of chance is licensed by the Chief of the State Police and when a valid license certificate is properly displayed. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section and section 312, lucky seven games may be conducted during the period beginning 2 hours before and ending 2 hours after a "beano" game.

Notwithstanding any other rule, lucky seven or other similar sealed tickets may be sold that have a sale value of $1 or less , and a person who sells or distributes "beano" cards or materials used to play "beano" prior to the conduct of "beano" as a volunteer, as provided in this section, is permitted to play in the "beano" game.’

summary

This amendment removes an incorrect reference in the bill. It allows a person who sells or distributes beano cards or materials used to play beano prior to a beano game as a volunteer to play in the beano game. Current Department of Public Safety rules prohibit a person who sells beano cards or materials from participating in beano.
