What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The Wisconsin Constitution permits the legislature to authorize certain types

of gambling. A raffle conducted by a local religious, charitable, service, fraternal, or

veterans' organization is a type of gambling that may be authorized. Under current

law, the legislature has authorized the operation of raffles that are games of chance

in which tickets are sold and drawings are held.

This bill expands the type of raffles that are authorized to include games of

chance for which tickets are sold and that use plastic or rubber ducks in a race. Each

"duck" has a number on it, which is the same number that is on a ticket that was sold

for the raffle. The duck that first crosses the finish line represents the winner of the

raffle. The bill imposes certain requirements for conducting a race, including a

requirement that the ducks be the same size, shape, and weight, and that a device

be used at the finish line that traps the ducks in the order that they cross.
