Oppose
Senate Journal Page: 2501
HB 1759 seeks to help charitable foundations recuperate losses from diminished capacity and increase fundraising opportunities by authorizing a sports team charitable foundation to sell raffle tickets remotely through digital interactive media to individuals physically located in Texas. We do not need to expand gambling in Texas, even if it is for a charitable event. TFR opposes HB 1759.
