Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 4283

Amends the Raffles Act. Provides that certain licensing requirements and certain restrictions on the conduct of raffles do not apply to a charitable institution if (i) the sole purpose of the charitable institution is to raise funds for a children's research hospital that is exempted from the payment of federal income taxes under the United States Internal Revenue Code and (ii) the net proceeds from raffles conducted by the charitable institution are used by the organization for charitable, scientific, or educational purposes. Effective immediately.

Further amends the Raffles Act. Provides that a charitable institution must receive a license from the Department of Revenue in order to qualify for the exemption from local licensing and other restrictions.

Deletes everything. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes: Further amends the Raffles Act. Replaces the provision limiting the exemption to a charitable institution that raises funds for a children's research hospital with a provision making the exemption available to a charitable institution that is organized and conducted on a not-for-profit basis and is exempt from federal taxation under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Provides that for a charitable institution to be eligible for the exemption from licensing requirements and restrictions concerning the conduct of raffles, the charitable institution's net raffle proceeds must be used for charitable, scientific, or educational purposes related to the charitable institution (now must be used for charitable, scientific, or educational purposes). Provides that fees collected by the Department of Revenue for a license authorizing a charitable institution that is subject to the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly to conduct raffles shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund. Provides that raffle tickets sold under the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly must contain certain identifying information. Provides that the Department of Revenue shall provide by rule for limits on the conduct of raffles under the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly. Effective immediately.

Deletes everything. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill as amended by Senate Amendment No. 1 with the following changes: Further amends the Raffles Act. Provides that for raffles authorized under the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly, the county in which the winner of a raffle is determined, rather than the Department of Revenue, is responsible for collecting license application fees and determining whether an applicant is qualified for a raffles license. Specifies that a charitable organization licensed under the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly may sell raffle tickets in any part of this State except (i) in any municipality that has adopted an ordinance prohibiting the conduct of raffles or the sale of raffle tickets within its boundaries or (ii) in any unincorporated portion of a county that has adopted an ordinance prohibiting the conduct of raffles or the sale of raffle tickets within the unincorporated portions within its boundaries. Increases the fee for a license to conduct raffles under the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly from $200 to $300. Provides that the county where the winner of a raffle is determined shall retain $200 of that fee and pay the remainder to the Department of Revenue. Provides that the name of the county in which the winner of a raffle is determined must be printed on raffle tickets for raffles authorized under the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly.
