House Would Drop Penalty In Bingo Law
Kansas House passed a bill by 74 to 32 to remove criminal penalties for operating bingo by religious educational and fraternal groups, despite Atty. Gen. Vern Miller warning such play would still be unlawful under the state constitution. The measure moves to the Senate which earlier backed a bill to legalize bingo despite constitutional lottery bans.
