AB262,1,1
1An Act to amend 563.905 (1) of the statutes;
relating to: raffle licenses.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
