Small code fix for social clubs' charitable gaming reporting reported by subcommittee
Summary
HB 399, a technical adjustment to allow some pre‑1970 social clubs to treat rental revenues as permitted expenses when a fixed percentage goes to charity, was reported (clerk noted an 8‑0 result with possible one abstention).
Delegate Askew presented HB 399, which makes a narrow change in the gaming law to allow certain long‑standing social clubs (described as pre‑1970 clubs) to treat rental revenues as permitted expenses so long as they commit a fixed percentage of proceeds to charity. The sponsor described it as a small statutory cleanup to reduce regulatory friction for longstanding charitable clubs.
No opposition testimony was recorded. A motion to report the bill carried after a brief roll‑call issue; the clerk's announcement recorded the result as '8 to 0 or 1 abstention.' The bill will advance for further consideration.
