Bill Summary

Amending the act of August 26, 1971 (P.L.351, No.91), entitled "An act providing for a State Lottery and administration thereof; authorizing the creation of a State Lottery Commission; prescribing its powers and duties; disposition of funds; violations and penalties therefor; exemption of prizes from State and local taxation and making an appropriation," in State lottery, further providing for definitions and providing for disclosure of certain prizewinner identities.

AI Summary

This bill amends the State Lottery Law to add a definition of "Department" (referring to the Department of Revenue) and to provide for the disclosure of certain prizewinner identities. It states that the name, address, and other personal information of a lottery prizewinner awarded $1 million or more shall remain confidential, except that the winner's city/township/borough of residence, county of residence, and prize amount shall be public record. The bill allows prizewinners to voluntarily waive this confidentiality and authorizes the Department to promulgate regulations to implement these provisions.
