Bingo Reform Limits Iowa Gaming to Nonprofits
The Iowa House adopted a bill restricting bingo to IRS qualified nonprofit groups including religious educational and veterans organizations with amendments. It allows up to three games weekly and 14 monthly, four hour per game, and requires at least 75 percent of proceeds to go to sponsoring charities while limiting licenses per building. The measure aims to curb noncharitable profits and potential unsavory elements.
