AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Lottery Law to allow licensed lottery sales agents to enter into agreements with third-party entities to help process lottery ticket sales, with several important stipulations. The bill establishes specific requirements for these third-party sales agreements, including that the lottery terminal usage must be kept separate at the sales location, tickets can only be sold to individuals physically present in Illinois, and the third-party entity is prohibited from sharing or selling user data to unaffiliated entities. Licensed lottery sales agents must submit a copy of these agreements to the Lottery Control Board within 5 business days of execution, and the third-party entities must adhere to all Board-established rules related to lottery ticket sales.
