Prepared By: Stephanie James, Senate Counsel (651/296-0103)
 
Date: April 3, 2013



 

Section 1 [Annual Audit, Certified Inventory, and Cash Count] increases the threshold for requiring an annual financial audit for an organization licensed to conduct charitable gaming.  Under current law, licensed organizations with gross receipts of more than $500,000 must have an annual financial audit of its lawful gambling activities and funds; organizations with less than $500,000 in gross receipts are only required to conduct a financial audit when the Commissioner of Revenue requires it.  This section changes the threshold for required annual audits to $750,000.

Section 2 [Attachments to Application] changes an amount certain to a minimum amount for a bond required for a linked bingo game provider to obtain a license. The bond secures payment of all linked bingo prizes.  Under current law, an applicant for a linked bingo game provider license must provide evidence of a bond of $100,000.  As modified in this section, the bond must be for "not less than" $100,000.

Section 3 [Off-Site Permits] increases from four to 12 the number of events in a calendar year that a licensed organization may conduct on a premises that is not its permitted premise in conjunction with a county fair, the State Fair, a church festival, or a civic celebration.

Section 4 [Accounts] increases from two days to four days the time limit for depositing gambling receipts for electronic pull-tab gamed and linked electronic bingo games into the gambling bank account for the licensed organization. 

Section 5 [Pull-Tab Records] increases the threshold from $50 to $100 for the prize above which the licensed organization must require identification of the winner.  This section also eliminates a requirement that the organization retain winning pull-tabs less than $100 for 3 1/2 years.
