STAFF ANALYSIS
Arizona Revised Statutes 5-413 establishes the requirements for a Class A bingo license. Under state law, a Class A license may be issued for the conduct of bingo games when gross receipts do not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000) per year.
The statute allows any person to apply for a Class A license. In addition, the bingo manager, proceeds coordinator, supervisor, and assistant are not required to be members or new members of the Association. The reporting period for a Class A bingo license is one year and coincides with the term of the license.
Bingo licenses are issued for a one-year term under state requirements. To continue conducting bingo activities, the applicant must follow the state’s renewal or application process prior to license expiration. Staff recommends approval of the application (Attachment A) and forwarding it to the State for review and issuance of the Class A bingo license.
