Lawmakers would review Kentucky charitable gaming rules and report findings

The resolution would direct the Legislative Research Commission to establish a task force to review charitable gaming rules and recommend changes as appropriate. The review would cover Kentucky laws and regulations on charitable gaming, including licensing processes and rules affecting licensed nonprofits. The task force would meet at least four times during the 2026 interim and send findings, recommendations, or a memo to the Commission by December 1, 2026. The Commission could refer recommendations to committees before the 2027 session.

The resolution would set a ten-member task force, subject to Commission approval, and let the Commission assign the review to an interim committee or subcommittee instead. The task force would have five House members and five Senate members. The members would be legislators appointed by House and Senate leaders, including each chamber's minority floor leader. If it assigns the work elsewhere, the Commission could set a study completion date.
