LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - A proposed constitutional amendment on next week's Kansas ballot would allow nonprofit, religious, veterans and other organizations to hold raffles as fundraisers.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports organizations conducting raffles would not be allowed to sell tickets through electronic gaming or vending machines, under the proposed amendment. They also wouldn't be allowed to contract with professional lottery or raffle companies to operate the raffles.
The Legislature passed a bill in 2013 that would allow charitable groups to offer raffles. But Gov. Sam Brownback vetoed the measure, saying it would violate the Kansas Constitution.
Brownback said in his veto message he would support allowing limited types of charitable raffles and encouraged the Legislature to consider a constitutional amendment.
