(1) THE PERMIT SHALL STATE THAT THE GAMING EVENT SHALL BE
MANAGED AND OPERATED PERSONALLY ONLY BY MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATION
OBTAINING THE PERMIT.
(2) THE PERMIT IS NOT TRANSFERABLE.
(E) LIMITATIONS.
AN ORGANIZATION CONDUCTING A GAMING EVENT IN BALTIMORE CITY MAY
NOT ALLOW AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS TO:
(1) BENEFIT FINANCIALLY FROM THE GAMING EVENT; OR
(2) RECEIVE ANY OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE GAMING EVENT FOR
PERSONAL USE OR BENEFIT.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 257(a)(1), (5), and (6) and (b).
Subsection (b) of this section is restated as an affirmative grant of
authority to certain qualified organizations to operate a gaming event for
clarity.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former limitation "[n]othing in this
subtitle [sic] shall be construed to make it unlawful" is deleted in light of §
13-101 of this title and the reorganization of material derived from the
former "Gaming" subheading of Article 27 in Titles 12 and 13 of this
article.
In subsection (b)(1)(vi) of this section, the former reference to a charitable
"corporation" is deleted as included in the reference to a charitable
"organization".
In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to "[t]he commissioner" is
added as implicit in the requirement that the application and the action
taken by the commissioner on the application be made public.
In subsection (e) of this section, the former phrase "or be paid" is deleted as
included in the reference to "receiv[ing]" proceeds.
The Criminal Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, that although subsection (b)(1)(i) of this section
allows a "religious" organization to conduct a gaming event, the proceeds
may be spent only on purposes, listed in subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section,
that do not explicitly include "religious" purposes.
The Criminal Law Article Review Committee also notes, for the
consideration of the General Assembly, that in subsection (e) of this
section, the scope of liability of an individual or organization that
improperly receives proceeds of a gaming event is unclear.
Defined terms: "Commissioner" § 13-501
"Gaming event" § 13-501
