SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5790 AS DISCHARGED FROM COMMITTEE
House Bill 5790 would amend the lottery act to require the State Lottery Commissioner to issue lottery sales licenses to veterans' organizations enabling them to sell Club Keno.
Specifically, the bill would amend the lottery act to require the commissioner to issue the same type of lottery sales licenses to veterans' organizations that hold club licenses as he/she issues to persons who hold Class C licenses and to require the commissioner to authorize veterans' organizations that possess club licenses to conduct the same type of lottery as persons who possess Class C licenses.
