What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, local organizations may obtain licenses to conduct raffles only

if they meet all of the following: the organization's headquarters are located in, or the

organization is a local chapter located in, Wisconsin, the organization expends a

majority of its total funds raised on activities in Wisconsin, and the organization

limits expenditure of raffle proceeds to activities in Wisconsin or in an area that is

partly in Wisconsin and partly in another state. Currently, a local organization is

allowed to conduct a raffle if its activities are limited to this state, a specific

geographical area within this state, or a specific geographical area that is partly

within this state and partly within another state.
