Frederick County Councilman Mason Carter is hoping the county’s state delegation will sponsor a bill to let volunteer fire companies and similar nonprofits accept credit cards as payment at gaming events. The proposal is meant to address one fire company’s interest in accepting credit card payments for online raffles. Carter proposed the bill as part of the county’s 2024 legislative package in September 2023. It was the only initiative put forward by the County Council, which voted unanimously to support it.
