HB 18-1317

HB 18-1317 is a Colorado bill that allows certain nonprofit organizations, which already have licenses for bingo and raffles, to use electronic gaming machines without breaking the law. This means these nonprofits can continue offering simulated gambling devices as part of their fundraising activities. The bill has been signed into law, so it's now active and affects those specific nonprofits that hold the required licenses.
