AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Lottery Law to change the meeting frequency of the 3-member funding authorization committee, which is appointed by the Director of Veterans Affairs to oversee expenditures from the Illinois Veterans Assistance Fund. This fund receives net revenue from a special scratch-off game designed to benefit Illinois veterans, with money allocated for various services like behavioral health, homelessness, health insurance costs, disability benefits, long-term care, employment training, and emergency financial assistance. Previously, this committee was required to meet on a quarterly basis, but under this bill, they will now be required to meet at least twice a year.
