N.C. General Assembly enacted House Bill 80 which is now codified as 14–306.4. Thus, effective December 1, 2010, NC outlawed the use of an “entertaining display” to promote a sweepstakes. According to the NC Supreme Court: “In an effort to curtail the use of a perceived loophole in the State’s gambling laws, the General Assembly passed N.C.G.S. § 14–306.4…” Hest and Sandhill amended their complaints to include a claim that 14-306.4 is unconstitutional.
