Public Question No. 2 - Constitutional Amendment to Allow Certain Organizations Authorized to Conduct Games of Chance to Use Proceeds From Those Games to Support the Organization

Summary

Do you approve amending the Constitution to permit all groups that are allowed to conduct bingo or raffles to use the net proceeds from those games to support their groups? The Constitution permits certain groups to conduct games of chance such as bingo or raffles. Those groups are veterans, charitable, educational, religious, fraternal, civic, and senior citizen groups; volunteer fire companies; and first-aid or rescue squads. The net proceeds from those games of chance may only be used for educational, charitable, patriotic, religious or public-spirited uses. However, veterans and senior citizen groups may also use the proceeds from those games to support their groups. This amendment would permit all of the groups authorized to conduct games of chance to use the net proceeds from conducting bingo or raffles to support their groups.

A "YES" vote supports amending the Constitution to permit certain organizations to use the net proceeds from conducting games of chance, such as bingo and raffles, to support their organizations.

A "NO" vote opposes amending the Constitution, which currently prohibits certain groups from using the proceeds from conducting games of chance to support their groups.
