Bill Summary
Relative to regulating lottery funding to certain cities and towns. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Section 35 of Chapter 10 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new provision that penalizes cities and towns that are capable of selling Massachusetts State Lottery games but choose not to do so. Specifically, the bill states that any municipality with the ability to sell lottery games that does not provide sales opportunities will be ineligible to receive funding from the State Lottery and Gaming Fund. This means that cities and towns must actively participate in lottery sales to continue receiving financial distributions from the state lottery fund, effectively incentivizing broader participation in lottery game sales across Massachusetts municipalities.
