Bill Summary
So much of the recommendations of the Department of the State Treasurer (House, No. 21) as relates to the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new section to the laws governing the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission. This new section, numbered §28C, will require the Commission to review information from the Department of Revenue before disbursing any lottery prize of $600 or more. If the Department of Revenue indicates that an individual presenting a lottery ticket for a prize is doing so on behalf of another person with the intent to help that person evade taxes or other legal obligations to the Commonwealth or the U.S. government, the Commission will withhold the prize payment. The Commission will then notify the Department of Revenue or another relevant government agency and will only disburse the prize according to further instructions from that agency, which could include a court order directing payment to someone other than the person who presented the ticket.
