This Act puts in place a permanent solution to allow for a fraternal or veterans organization with national affiliation or an organization whose membership consists primarily of veterans honorably discharged or active duty service member to operate charitable video lottery machines within their organizations upon approval from the Director of the Lottery. The business arrangement calls for the charitable gaming organizations to receive 60% of proceeds after players are paid and 40% shall go to the state to cover expenses of which 1% of the state’s proceeds shall be set aside to fund programs for the treatment, education and assistance of compulsive gamblers and their families. Each eligible charitable gaming organization may have up to 10 charitable video lottery machines plus one additional charitable video lottery machine for every 70 members of the charitable gaming organization over 500 members of said organization. Effective January 1, 2014, charitable gaming organizations will be required to donate at least 40% of the organization’s proceeds from charitable video lottery machine gaming annually to a charitable purpose. Finally, it requires the charitable gaming organization to adhere to the same guidelines for deducting from prizes of winners who are delinquent on the child support payments and sets a deadline of July 1, 2014, for these organizations to be connected to the state’s central system for reporting and auditing purposes.
