SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: These technical amendments would permit authorized organizations to increase their revenues by increasing the total aggregate value of prizes awarded by raffle, under the current statutory limits to two million dollars. JUSTIFICATION: The Buffalo Sabres Foundation (an authorized organization) currently conducts 50/50 split club raffles at each Buffalo Sabres home game. The proceeds from each raffle help offset the cost of operating the Buffalo Junior Sabres, a scholarship program for Western New York area high school students as well as donations to entities such as Roswell Park Cancer Research Institute and St. Mary's Hospital.
