Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, no person under the age of 18 may play any bingo game conducted by an organization that is licensed by the gaming board unless the person is accompanied by his or her parent, guardian or spouse. This bill expands this list by providing that no person under the age of 18 may play any bingo game conducted by an organization that is licensed by the gaming board unless the person is accompanied by his or her grandparent.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
