Albany, NY– The State Senate has approved a bill to allow local fire departments and other organizations to conduct raffles. The measure passed yesterday in the State Assembly.
State Senator Mike Ranzenhofer has issued the following statement:
“I am pleased to announce that the State Senate has approved a bill to lift state gaming authority regulations for raffles.
