SB 316 seeks to amend Part 2 of Article 2 of Chapter 12 of Title 16 of the O.C.G.A. relating to bingo. It adds a clause specifying that the numbers chosen by lot shall be chosen by a natural person who is physically located on the premises or property on which the game is operated. Further, it removes the allowance to award prizes up to $1,500 in cash or gifts of equivalent value on a calendar day, leaving a $3,000 per week limit.
