1An Act to amend 563.94 of the statutes;
relating to: organizations that may
2receive proceeds from a raffle.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits an organization that conducts a raffle from using any
proceeds of the raffle to pay any salary, fee, or profit to any other organization or
individual. This bill allows the organization that conducts a raffle to pay some of the
net proceeds of the raffle to an organization affiliated with and having the same
goals, bylaws, and national affiliation as the organization conducting the raffle in
proportion to the number of tickets or calendars sold by that organization.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
