Committee advances bill tweaking nonprofit raffle rules for certain hunting licenses
The committee considered House Bill 1094, which governs how eligible organizations may raffle licenses for hunting and other special permits. Representative Foss proposed changes to how organizations qualify and how proceeds must be allocated.

Discussion centered on whether to add a weighted-lottery benefit for organizations that contribute portions of raffle proceeds to conservation causes; Representative Foss proposed a scheme granting additional lottery entries for each 20% contribution to conservation projects, but that amendment failed for lack of a second. The committee instead approved a separate amendment raising the contribution threshold from 15% to 20% for eligibility.

Representative Olsen moved a due-pass recommendation for HB 1094 as amended; Representative Ruby seconded. The committee roll call recorded the motion as passing with a 12–1 vote.

Ending: The committee recommended HB 1094 do pass as amended and returned the bill to the calendar with the sponsor assigned as bill carrier.
