All operation and conduct of raffles shall be under the supervision of a single raffle manager designated by the organization. The manager shall give a fidelity bond in a sum of the aggregate retail value of the prizes set out on the application in favor of the organization, conditioned upon his or her honesty in the performance of his or her duties. Terms of the bond shall provide that notice shall be given in writing to the Will County Executive not less than 30 days prior to its cancellation. The Will County Board’s Executive Committee may waive this bond requirement by a majority vote of the members present. To be eligible for a bond waiver, the members of the licensed organization must first approve the bond waiver by an affirmative vote of the requisite number of members of the licensed organization or, if the licensed organization does not have members, of members of the governing board of the organization, to constitute an affirmative action of the licensed organization. As part of the bond waiver application, the licensed organization shall provide (1) an estimate of the cost to obtain the bond, and (2) proof of the licensed organization’s approval of the waiver, either by official letter, meeting minutes, or signed attestation on the waiver application. This section does not apply to poker runs.
