Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Lottery Law. Removes language providing that the Department of the Lottery shall publish each January in the Illinois Register a list of all game-specific rules, play instructions, directives, operations manuals, brochures, or other game-specific publications issued by the Department during the previous year and instructions concerning how the public may obtain copies of these materials from the Department. Removes language regarding the selection of a private manager for the total management of the Lottery. Removes language providing that moneys in the Department's account shall be deposited by the Department into the Public Treasurers' Investment Pool. Provides that the Department shall make an effort to more directly inform players of the odds of winning prizes by publishing the information for all games on the Department's public website (rather than by requiring all ticket agents to display a placard stating the odds of winning for each game offered by that agent). Requires the Department to make written play instructions available on the Department's public website or by the Department by request (rather than to all players through sales agents licensed to sell game tickets or shares). Allows the Department (rather than the State Treasurer) to contract with any person or corporation to perform financial functions. Allows the State Treasurer to act as an agent of the Department to perform the financial functions. Removes language providing that moneys in the Department's account for paying validated prizes shall be deposited in the Public Treasurer's Investment Pool. Repeals a provision related to a specialty retailers license. Makes other and conforming changes.
