INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mitch Daniels has signed a bill into law that transfers the regulation of charity gambling to the Indiana Gaming Commission and lets candidates for public office use raffles to raise campaign money.

Currently, the Indiana Department of Revenue regulates the bingo games and other gambling conducted by non-profit groups throughout the state. The department issues more than 2,000 charity gambling licenses annually."
