Amend the bill in section 1 in subsection 4 in the last 2 lines (page 1, lines 10 and 11 in L.D.) by striking out all of the last underlined sentence.
Amend the bill by inserting after section 1 the following:
‘Sec. 2. 17 MRSA §1835, sub-§1, ¶B, as amended by PL 2009, c. 652, Pt. C, §3 and affected by §4, is further amended to read:
B. Licensed card games that award part or all of the entry fees paid to participate in the game as prize money and in which no money or thing of value is wagered except for the entry fee are limited to a $5 $10 daily entry fee and no more than 50 60 players at any one time at any one location.’
summary
This amendment makes a technical correction to the bill, ensuring that the entry fee change proposed by the bill is changed in both sections of the law governing entry fees that apply to games of cards conducted by charitable nonprofit organizations.
