Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, a local religious, charitable, service, fraternal, or veterans organization, or other local organization to which donations are tax deductible, is eligible for a license to conduct a raffle. "Local organization" is defined as an organization whose activities are limited to this state or to a specific geographical area within this state. This bill amends the definition of a "local organization," for purposes of eligibility for a raffle license, to include an organization whose activities are limited to a specific geographical area that is partly within this state and partly within another state.
