Bill Summary

Relative to lottery compliance investigations

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 31 of Chapter 10 of the General Laws, which pertains to the state lottery. Specifically, it allows members or employees of the lottery commission to be authorized by the director to purchase lottery tickets for investigative purposes, which was previously prohibited. Furthermore, if such an authorized employee or member wins a prize from a ticket they purchased for investigative reasons, the winnings will be deposited into the state's General Fund, meaning the money will go to the state government rather than the individual winner.
