Summary of SF 2692 (Minnesota Session 2025-2026)

Title

Charitable gambling rates modification

Purpose and intent

SF 2692 proposes changes to the rates or fees related to charitable gambling activities in Minnesota. The bill aims to modify the financial framework governing charitable gaming operations, with an emphasis on adjusting how much goes to state taxes or regulatory costs, and potentially altering the distribution of revenue from charitable gambling.

Key provisions and changes

  • The bill introduces modifications to the rate structure associated with charitable gambling activities. While the exact text is not provided here, typical provisions of this type of bill may include:
    • Changing tax rates or license/operating fees for charitable gambling organizations, including activities such as pull-tab games, bingo, and raffle-style events.
    • Adjusting the percentage of gross receipts that must be remitted as taxes, licensing fees, or regulatory assessments.
    • Establishing new or revised brackets for fees based on a charity’s revenue, organization type, or event size.
    • Clarifying or expanding eligibility criteria or reporting requirements related to charitable gambling operations.
  • The bill may also address enforcement, compliance reporting timelines, and potential penalties for noncompliance, though specifics are not provided in the summary.

Affected parties

  • Charitable gambling organizations and their operators (e.g., nonprofits running pull tabs, bingo, and raffles) would be directly affected by changes in rates, fees, or reporting requirements.
  • The Minnesota Department of Revenue and/or other state regulatory agencies responsible for licensure, taxation, and oversight of charitable gambling would implement and enforce any new rates and related administrative provisions.
  • Beneficiaries of charitable gaming proceeds could be indirectly affected if the revenue available for charitable purposes changes due to rate modifications.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduction and first reading occurred on March 20, 2025.
  • The bill was referred to the Taxes committee on the same date.
  • No further action dates are provided in the available information. If advanced, it would typically proceed through committee hearings, fiscal notes, possible amendments, and votes in the House and Senate, with potential conference committees before a final floor vote.

Notes

  • Primary sponsors include Co-sponsors Mark Koran and Bill Weber.
  • The bill’s fiscal impact, specific rate changes, and affected tax/fee amounts are not detailed in the provided summary. Access to the full text would clarify exact rate modifications, thresholds, and any transitional provisions.
