AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina's lottery regulations to allow payment for lottery game tickets by debit card, specifically modifying Section 59-150-70(D)(2) of the state code. Previously, the law prohibited payment by debit cards, allowing only cash transactions for lottery ticket purchases. The bill removes the language restricting debit card payments, effectively expanding the methods of payment for lottery tickets. By permitting debit card transactions, the legislation provides lottery players with more convenient payment options while maintaining the prohibition on credit cards, checks, and other forms of deferred payment. The amendment aims to modernize the lottery purchasing process and potentially make ticket buying more accessible for consumers. The bill will take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, representing a straightforward but meaningful update to the state's lottery regulations.
