AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Lottery Law to allow licensed lottery sales agents, who are authorized to sell lottery tickets, to partner with third-party entities to help process these sales. The licensed agent must submit a copy of this agreement to the Lottery Control Board, which is the state agency overseeing lottery operations, within five business days of signing it. The agreement must ensure that lottery terminals are not used for other purposes at the same location, that tickets are only sold to individuals physically present in Illinois, that the third-party entity cannot share or sell customer data to unrelated businesses, and that the third-party entity must follow all rules set by the Board regarding lottery sales. This change aims to modernize lottery sales processes while maintaining state control and consumer protection.
