We recently spoke with a representative from Senator Mario Scavello’s office regarding the status of PA House Bill 864. The bill is currently in the PA Senate ‘Community, Economic & Recreational Development’ committee. Senator Scavello is the Chair person for the Community, Economic & Recreational Development committee.
HB864 Memo section references; Pitsburgh Airport 50/50 Raffle.
However there are several important Small Games of Chance amendments within the
bill that we highlight below. Please note
that we do not discuss the impact of this Bill to the Pittsburgh Airports and 50/50 Raffles in this blog. This blog target audience is fraternal
organizations and taverns that have a Small Games of Chance license in PA.
Status of PA House Bill 864
HB864 is expected to have a few amendments in the Senate and
will then go back to the PA House where the Bill’s amended content will be
expected, reviewed and most likely passed sometime prior to the end of the
session which will end in December 2018. The committee will be communicating with
the PA House when adding the expected amendments so that the bill will most
likely pass thru the House next year without any additional amendments.
