An Act to Support Nonprofit Organizations and Federally Recognized Indian Tribes by Authorizing the Operation of Electronic Lucky Seven or Similar Sealed Ticket Devices and Updating the High-stakes Beano Law

This bill updates laws related to the Department of Public Safety, Gambling Control Unit's licensing and fees for selling lucky seven or similar sealed tickets to include electronic versions. It also places restrictions on the number, location and operation of electronic lucky seven devices and requires licensees to operate at least one kiosk for the redemption of electronic lucky seven vouchers. The bill also adds definitions of "electronic lucky seven device" and "lucky seven or similar sealed tickets."

The bill also removes the restriction that allows the sale of lucky seven or similar sealed tickets only during the period beginning 2 hours before and ending 2 hours after a "beano" game.
