SENATE BILL NO. 130
"An Act relating to electronic pull-tabs."
1:04:40 PM
Co-Chair Bishop relayed that it was the first hearing of SB
130 during the current session. The committee had heard a
bill introduction the previous session and had taken public
testimony. The intent of the committee was to hear a bill
reintroduction and to set the bill aside.
1:05:13 PM
SENATOR MIA COSTELLO, SPONSOR, recounted that many years
previously the state had adopted a policy to recognize
certain gaming activities in the state, including raffles,
bingo, and pull tabs. The bill dealt solely with pull tabs.
She noted that a few years previously bingo had gone to an
electronic format. The bill would allow for a new format
for pull tabs and allow for an electronic representation of
a pull-tab. The bill would not change where pull tabs were
offered, nor who was allowed to play, nor how the pull tabs
were paid for. She reminded that pull-tabs supported
charities in the state including entities such as Veterans
of Foreign Wars, sports teams, schools, and Native
villages. The funds were often used for scholarships.

RECONVENED
MELODIE WILTERDINK, STAFF TO SENATOR COSTELLO, thought that
the senator had given a great overview of the bill. She
made note that one of the supporting documents (copy on
file) listed all of the charities in the state that had
pull tab permits.
Co-Chair Bishop asked if Ms. Wilterdink could provide a
number.
Ms. Wilterdink cited that at the bottom of page 6 there was
a total of 249 charities in the state held pull tab
permits.
Co-Chair Bishop stated the committee would set the bill
aside. He thanked the sponsor and staff.
SB 130 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further
consideration.
