TITLE OF BILL:
 
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to prohibiting
firearms as prizes in any game of chance
 
 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
 
Prohibiting firearms as prizes in any game of chance.

is amended by section 13 of part MM of chapter 59 of the laws of 2017.
 
 
JUSTIFICATION:
 
Currently in New York State it is legal to raffle off a firearm in a
game of chance. Many times games such as these are open to all individ-
uals regardless of age. Firearms should not be raffled off in this
manner. Firearm related violence is a significant public health and
safety problem and weapons should not be given away in games of chance.
