Bill > SB2035

This bill amends the Illinois Lottery Law to allow licensed lottery sales agents to collaborate with third-party entities for processing lottery ticket sales, with specific regulatory safeguards. Under the proposed changes, a licensed lottery sales agent can now enter into an agreement with a third-party entity to help sell lottery tickets, but must submit a copy of this agreement to the Lottery Control Board within 5 business days of finalizing it. The bill mandates that such agreements must include several key provisions: the lottery sales terminal cannot be shared or mixed with other equipment at the sales location, tickets can only be sold to individuals physically present in the state, the third-party entity is prohibited from sharing or selling user data to unaffiliated entities, and the third-party must comply with all Board-established rules regarding lottery ticket sales. This legislation aims to provide more flexibility for lottery ticket sales while maintaining strict oversight to protect consumer interests and ensure the integrity of lottery operations.
