IN RE: |
HB2168 by Krause (Relating to ticket sales for charitable raffles conducted by the charitable foundations of certain professional sports teams.), As Engrossed |
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code as it relates to the sale of charitable raffle tickets. The bill would allow professional sports team charitable foundations to sell raffle tickets at home venue games or through digital interactive media, including through the associated professional sport team's websites or mobile applications. The bill would limit sales performed through digital interactive media to individuals physically located at the associated team's home venue at the time of the transaction.
The bill would remove the definition of a debit card and would repeal the criminal penalties associated with accepting forms of payment other than U.S. currency or debit card for these raffles after the bill's effective date.
The bill would take effect effect immediately if it receives two-thirds vote, otherwise it takes effect September 1, 2021.
The Texas Lottery Commission does not have oversight over charitable raffles so the agency does not anticipate impacts from this bill. No revenue from charitable raffles is deposited into the state treasury. It is assumed that if any costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to ticket sales for charitable raffles occurred, they could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
