A BILL FOR

An Act concerning card game tournaments conducted by qualified organizations representing veterans.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 99B.27, subsection 2, paragraph f, Code 2025, is amended by striking the paragraph.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill removes the requirement that in order for a qualified veterans organization to conduct a card game tournament, every participant must be given the same chance of winning the tournament and the organization must not allow any second chance entries or multiple entries in the tournament. A qualified organization representing veterans is a post, branch, or chapter of a national association of veterans of the armed forces of the United States which is a federally chartered corporation, dedicates the net receipts of a game of skill, game of chance, or raffle as provided in Code section 99B.14, and is exempt from federal income taxation.
