House Bill 457 amends the Occupations Code to provide an exception to the prohibition against a nonprofit organization qualified to conduct a charitable raffle promoting or advertising the raffle statewide if the promotion or advertisement is made on the organization's Internet website or through a publication or solicitation, including a newsletter, social media, or e-mail, provided only to previously identified supporters of the organization. The bill authorizes a member of the organization who is employed by the organization to organize and conduct a raffle but prohibits the member's work organizing or conducting the raffle from being more than a de minimis portion of the member's employment with the organization.
