Bill Summary

Relative to apportionment of lottery revenues. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to change how lottery revenues are apportioned to cities and towns in Massachusetts. The key provision is that state lottery revenue shall now be distributed to cities and towns proportionately based on lottery sales in those localities, rather than through a different formula. This aims to allocate the lottery funds more directly to the communities generating the revenue. The bill also clarifies that "budgeted aid" refers to unrestricted aid, payments in lieu of taxes, and education aid to cities and towns.
