Summary


Current law authorizes qualifying professional sports team charitable foundations to conduct raffles to raise money for the foundation's charitable purposes, such as after-school health and fitness programs, community service initiatives, and youth scholarships. Given that these charitable raffles have proven to be instrumental in generating revenue in support of these important charitable purposes, there have been calls to allow more foundations to conduct these raffles. H.J.R. 143 seeks to answer this call by proposing a constitutional amendment, subject to voter approval, to authorize the organizations sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association to conduct charitable raffles at rodeo events.
