Charitable Groups Seek Halt to Electronic Bingo Ban

Charitable organizations and disabled persons are back in Sacramento federal court asking for an order barring enforcement of two new laws outlawing electronic bingo games.

The charitable and disabled plaintiffs, along with a game manufacturer, want U. S. District Judge John A. Mendez to halt enforcement of a new state law by expanding a June preliminary injunction that prohibits the state from seizing electronic bingo games.

They also want Mendez to stop enforcement of a new Sacramento County ordinance by adding it to the injunction.
