2009 Senate Bill 575

Revise carnival or vending machine game prize cap

Introduced in the Senate

May 14, 2009

Introduced by Sen. Jim Barcia (D-31)

To revise a maximum prize value cap in a state law that regulates carnival or vending machine games where winning requires the application of skill by a player, and winners get noncash prizes, toys, novelties, or coupons redeemable for these. Under current law the maximum coupon value is $3.75. The bill would specify that this means $3.75 per play. House Bill 4932 raises the maximum prize cap from $250 to $500.

Referred to the Committee on Economic Development and Regulatory Reform
