Amend the bill in section 2 by striking out all of paragraph A and inserting the following:

A.  The Chief of the State Police may issue one special exempt raffle license per year to any organization, department or class eligible to hold a raffle under subsection 6 without obtaining a license. The special exempt raffle license entitles the licensee to hold one raffle in which the holder of a winning chance receives something of value worth more than $10,000 but not more than $75,000. A raffle licensed under this paragraph may be structured as a progressive raffle that is divided into a maximum of 12 multiple drawings with previous entries rolled into subsequent drawing pots and with the final drawing to be held within 12 months of the first. Drawings must be used to randomly select a smaller group to be eligible for the final prize to be awarded after the final drawing. Section 341 does not apply to raffles licensed under this section.’

Amend the bill by relettering or renumbering any nonconsecutive Part letter or section number to read consecutively.

This amendment specifies that multiple drawing raffles are progressive raffles that are divided into a maximum of 12 drawings with previous entries rolled into subsequent drawings.
