Senate Bill 549 amends the Bingo Enabling Act, Occupations Code, to require the Texas Lottery Commission, on request, to refund to an authorized organization the fee for a temporary license to conduct bingo if the authorized organization does not use the temporary license to conduct bingo before the first anniversary of the date of the license's issuance or if the authorized organization requests withdrawal of the application before the temporary license is issued. The bill also requires the lottery commission to refund certain licensing and registration fees under the act if an applicant requests withdrawal of the applicable application before a certain period or if the lottery commission denies the application.
