(A) Each organization licensed to conduct raffles and chances shall keep records of its gross receipts, expenses and net proceeds for each single gathering or occasion at which winning chances are determined. All deductions from gross receipts for each single gathering or occasion shall be documented with receipts or other records indicating the amount, a description of the purchased item or service or other reason for the deduction, and the recipient. The distribution of net proceeds shall be itemized as to payee, purpose, amount and date of payment.
(B) Gross receipts from the operation of raffles programs shall be segregated from the other revenues of the organization, including bingo gross receipts, if bingo games are also conducted by the same non-profit organization pursuant to license therefor issued by the Illinois Department of Revenue, and placed in a separate account. Each organization shall have separate records of its raffles. The person who accounts for gross receipts, expenses and net proceeds from the operation of raffles shall not be the same person who accounts for other revenues of the organization.
(C) Each organization licensed to conduct raffles shall report within 60 days after the conclusion of each raffle to its membership, and to the city, its gross receipts, expenses and net proceeds from raffles, and the distribution of net proceeds itemized as required in this section. The report shall be on a cash basis, not on an accrual basis.
(D) Records required by this section shall be preserved for three years, and organizations shall make available their records relating to operation of raffles for public inspection at reasonable times and places.
