"D.1 The Office of the State Inspector General shall, with the assistance of the Office of Charitable and Regulatory Programs, review the regulatory structure of charitable gaming in Virginia, to include, at a minimum: (i) current permitting requirements and exemptions; (ii) net revenue dedicated to charitable activities and which types of gaming revenue is excluded from this calculation; (iii) charitable gaming occurring in remote locations not located in the same jurisdiction as the registered address of the charitable organization; (iv) enforcement of the “social quarters” and “members and guests” limitation; (v) the structure of the Charitable Gaming Board including any changes needed to prevent conflicts of interest; (vi) the adequacy of enforcement and resources dedicated to oversight activities of the Office of Charitable and Regulatory Programs; and (vii) whether regulation of charitable gaming would be more appropriately vested with the Virginia Lottery.  The Office of the State Inspector General shall report on their findings to the General Assembly no later than October 1, 2021.
