A BILL
To amend section 1711.09 of the Revised Code to
remove the prohibition that an agricultural
society must not permit, during, for one week
before, or for three days after a fair, a
charitable organization to conduct games of chance
or bingo on the fairground.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 1711.09 of the Revised Code be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 1711.09. Except as otherwise provided in this section,
county agricultural societies, independent agricultural societies,
and the Ohio expositions commission shall not permit during any
fair, or for one week before or three days after any fair, any
dealing in spirituous liquors, or at any time allow or tolerate
immoral shows, lottery devices, games of chance, or gambling of
any kind, including pool selling and paddle wheels, anywhere on
the fairground; and shall permit no person at any time to operate
any side show, amusement, game, or device, or offer for sale any
novelty by auction or solicitation, on the fairground who has not
first obtained from the director of agriculture a license under
section 1711.11 of the Revised Code. This section does not
prohibit the sale of lottery tickets by the state lottery
commission pursuant to Chapter 3770. of the Revised Code at the
state fairground during the state fair. In addition, a county or
independent agricultural society may permit, at any time except
during a fair or for one week before or three days after a fair, a
charitable organization to conduct in accordance with Chapter
2915. of the Revised Code games of chance or bingo on the
fairground of any county. A charitable organization may lease all
or part of the fairground from the agricultural society for that
purpose.
Any sales of intoxicating liquor transacted on the fairground
shall be subject to Chapters 4301., 4303., and 4399. of the
Revised Code.
Any agricultural society that permits the sale of
intoxicating liquor on its fairground shall apply any proceeds
gained by the society from the permit holder and from activities
coincident to the sale of intoxicating liquor first to pay the
cost of insurance on all buildings on the fairground, and then for
any other purpose authorized by law.
Section 2. That existing section 1711.09 of the Revised Code
is hereby repealed.
