|
| 8 |
| Sec. 3. The Department of Revenue shall, upon application |
| 9 |
| therefor
on forms prescribed by such Department, and upon the |

of |

| under this Act.
|
| 2 |
| (ii) Any qualified organization organized in Illinois |
| 3 |
| which operates
without profit to its members, which has |
| 4 |
| been in existence in Illinois
continuously for a period of |
| 5 |
| 5 years immediately before making application for
a license |
| 6 |
| and which has had during that 5 year period a bona fide |
| 7 |
| membership
engaged in carrying out its objects. However, |
| 8 |
| the 5 year requirement shall be
reduced to 2 years, as |
| 9 |
| applied to a local organization which is affiliated with
|
| 10 |
| and chartered by a national organization which meets the 5 |
| 11 |
| year requirement.
The period of existence specified above |
| 12 |
| shall not apply to a qualified
organization, organized for |
| 13 |
| charitable purpose, created by a fraternal
organization |
| 14 |
| that meets the existence requirements if the charitable
|
| 15 |
| organization has the same officers and directors as the |
| 16 |
| fraternal organization.
Only one charitable organization |
| 17 |
| created by a branch lodge or chapter of a
fraternal |
| 18 |
| organization may be licensed under this provision.
|
| 19 |
| Each license shall be in effect for one year from its date |
| 20 |
| of
issuance unless suspended or revoked by Department action |
| 21 |
| before that date.
A licensee may hold only one license. Each |
| 22 |
| license must be applied for at
least 30 days prior to the night |
| 23 |
| or nights the licensee wishes to conduct
such games. The |
| 24 |
| Department may issue a license to a licensee that applies less |
| 25 |
| than 30 days prior to the night or nights the licensee wishes |
| 26 |
| to conduct the games if all other requirements of this Act are |

| met and the Department has sufficient time and resources to |
| 2 |
| issue the license in a timely manner. The Department may |
| 3 |
| provide by rule for an extension of any charitable games |
| 4 |
| license issued under this Act. If a licensee wishes to conduct |
| 5 |
| games at a location other than
the locations originally |
| 6 |
| specified in the license, the licensee shall
notify the |
| 7 |
| Department of the proposed alternate location at least 30
60
|
| 8 |
| days
before the night on which the licensee wishes to conduct |
| 9 |
| games at the
alternate location. The Department may accept an |
| 10 |
| applicant's change in location with less than 30 days' notice |
| 11 |
| if all other requirements of this Act are met and the |
| 12 |
| Department has sufficient time and resources to process the |
| 13 |
| change in a timely manner.
