Harrisburg, Pa. — After the statewide skill game crackdown, two bills aimed to give veterans’ organizations, volunteer fire companies, civic clubs, and other nonprofits more flexibility with small games of chance proceeds passed the state Senate unanimously and are now before the House. 

“Our veterans’ organizations, volunteer fire companies and civic clubs play an important role in our communities,” Sen. Rosemary Brown (R-40), chairwoman of the Senate Community, Economic and Recreational Development Committee, said. “These organizations support veterans, fund youth programs and scholarships, assist emergency services, and provide many other valuable resources. Updating these rules would help them manage rising costs and continue their important work.”
