What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, an organization with a Class B raffle license may conduct a multiple-container raffle or a plastic and rubber duck race as long as the winner in the raffle or race is determined by a drawing with all tickets having an equal opportunity to win. This bill allows an organization with a Class B raffle license to conduct a paddlewheel raffle. Under this bill, a paddlewheel raffle is a raffle in which a paddlewheel, a manually operated, mechanical, vertical wheel that is marked off into sections containing numbers or descriptions of items, after being spun, indicates with a pointer or marker a winning number or prize item on the wheel.
Under the bill, the organization conducting the raffle must comply with certain requirements, including that the organization must determine the winning number or prize by the position of the pointer when the vertical wheel stops spinning. If the pointer stops on top of a peg, the number or prize item preceding the peg is the winning number or item.
