AI Summary

This bill proposes to change how money generated from lottery ticket sales is distributed to cities and towns. Currently, the law allows for the balance of the lottery fund, as calculated by the comptroller at specific times throughout the fiscal year, to be distributed. This bill would amend that by ensuring this balance is distributed to cities and towns in direct proportion to the total revenue generated from lottery ticket or share sales within each specific municipality, meaning towns that sell more lottery tickets will receive a larger share of the distributed funds. Additionally, the bill removes language from another section of law that references revenues collected from the State Lottery Fund and the Arts Lottery Fund, indicating a shift in how these specific lottery revenues are handled and potentially consolidated under the new distribution method.
