IN RE: |
HB2168 by Krause (Relating to ticket sales for charitable raffles conducted by the charitable foundations of certain professional sports teams.), As Introduced |
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code as it relates to the sale of charitable raffle tickets. The bill would allow professional sports team charitable foundations to sell raffle tickets at home venue games, through interactive media apps, and through the websites of the professional sport team associated with the foundation conducting the raffle. The bill would limit sales to individuals physically located within he State of Texas at the time of the transaction.
The bill would remove the definition of a debit card and would repeal the criminal penalties associated with the offense of accepting forms of payment other than U.S. currency or debit card for these raffles.
It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to ticket sales for charitable raffles conducted by the charitable foundations of certain professional sports teams could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
