Act 168 (SB 198) 2015 Regular Session Heitmeier
Prior law, relative to charitable bingo, authorized any person, association, or corporation
licensed to hold, operate, or conduct any games of chance under any license issued pursuant
to prior law to compensate, for services rendered, any 15 employees, including a bingo caller,
who assist in the holding, operating, or conducting of such games.
Prior law restricted the rate of compensation to no more than $10 per hour and no more than
$50 per session for any employee.
New law increases the rate of compensation to no more than $15 per hour and no more than
$90 per session for any employee.
Prior law required each distributor of electronic bingo card dabber devices to have at least
one employee on site during use of the distributor's devices.
