1     owned business", or a business owned by a person with a

3     aggregate at least 55% of all ticket revenues attributable
4     to such instant Lottery games and online Lottery games.
5         (f) In any zip code where the poverty rate, as
6     determined by using the most recent data released by the

4 prescribed by the Division, and upon a determination by the
5 Division that the applicant meets all of the qualifications
6 specified in this Act, shall issue a license as an agent to
7 sell lottery tickets or shares. No license as an agent to sell
8 lottery tickets or shares shall be issued to any person to
9 engage in business exclusively as a lottery sales agent.
10     Before issuing such license the Superintendent shall
11 consider (a) the financial responsibility and security of the
12 person and his business or activity, (b) the accessibility of
13 his place of business or activity to the public, (c) the
14 sufficiency of existing licenses to serve the public
15 convenience, (d) the volume of expected sales, and (e) such
16 other factors as he or she may deem appropriate.

21 matter of this Act to the same extent as if such provisions
22 were included in this Act. For purposes of this Act, references
23 in such incorporated Sections of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
24 Act to retailers, sellers or persons engaged in the business of
25 selling tangible personal property mean persons engaged in

 

 

09500HB1496sam002 - 42 - LRB095 08420 HLH 51788 a

1 selling lottery tickets or shares; references in such
2 incorporated Sections to sales of tangible personal property
3 mean the selling of lottery tickets or shares; and references
4 in such incorporated Sections to certificates of registration
5 mean licenses issued under this Act. The provisions of the
6 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act as heretofore applied to the
7 subject matter of this Act shall not apply with respect to
8 tickets sold by or delivered to lottery sales agents on and
9 after September 1, 1987, but such provisions shall continue to
10 apply with respect to transactions involving the sale and
11 delivery of tickets prior to September 1, 1987.
12     All licenses issued by the Division under this Act shall be
13 valid for a period not to exceed 2 years after issuance unless
14 sooner revoked, canceled or suspended as in this Act provided.
15 No license issued under this Act shall be transferable or
16 assignable. Such license shall be conspicuously displayed in
17 the place of business conducted by the licensee in Illinois
18 where lottery tickets or shares are to be sold under such
19 license.
20     For purposes of this Section, the term "person" shall be

2 village, or township and any agency or instrumentality thereof.
3     If the State enters into a Management and Concession
4 Agreement pursuant to which the State authorizes a
5 Concessionaire to retain agents to distribute lottery tickets,
6 the Division shall cease issuing licenses to agents to sell
7 lottery tickets or shares during the term of the Management and
8 Concession Agreement. In retaining such agents, the
9 Concessionaire shall apply appropriate criteria in determining
10 suitability of those agents, including without limitation,
11 criteria establishing the ineligibility for a license as set
12 forth in Section 10.1 of this Act. Further, the Concessionaire
13 shall provide to the Department, not less than monthly, a list
14 of all agents the Concessionaire has engaged to distribute
15 lottery tickets or shares, which statement shall include a
16 certification that all such agents comply with the eligibility

2 of illegal gambling;

4 in the community in which he resides;
5     (e) any person who has been found guilty of any fraud or

11 (c), (d) or (e) is an officer, director, or managing agent,
12 whether compensated or not;
13     (h) any organization in which a person defined in (a), (b),

15 of lottery tickets or shares.
16     However, with respect to persons defined in (a), the
17 Department may grant any such person a license under this Act
18 when:
19     1) at least 10 years have elapsed since the date when the
20 sentence for the most recent such conviction was satisfactorily
21 completed;
22     2) the applicant has no history of criminal activity

4 applicant indicate that he is unlikely to commit another crime.
5     The Division may revoke, without notice or a hearing, the
6 license of any agent who violates this Act or any rule or
7 regulation promulgated pursuant to this Act. If the State
8 enters into a Management and Concession Agreement pursuant to
9 which the State authorizes a Concessionaire to engage any sales
10 agent, the Division shall retain the power to revoke any such
11 agency pursuant to the provisions of this Act. However, if the
12 Division does revoke a license without notice and an
13 opportunity for a hearing, the Division shall, by appropriate
14 notice, afford the person whose license has been revoked an
15 opportunity for a hearing within 30 days after the revocation
16 order has been issued. As a result of any such hearing, the
17 Division may confirm its action in revoking the license, or it
18 may order the restoration of such license.

22 addition to other grounds specified in this Act, the Division
23 shall refuse to issue and shall suspend the license of any
24 lottery sales agency who fails to file a return, or to pay the
25 tax, penalty or interest shown in a filed return, or to pay any

3 the requirements of any such tax Act are satisfied, unless the
4 agency is contesting, in accordance with the procedures
5 established by the appropriate revenue Act, its liability for
6 the tax or the amount of tax. If the State enters into a
7 Management and Concession Agreement pursuant to which the State
8 authorizes a Concessionaire to engage any sales agent, the
9 Division may direct the Concessionaire to refrain from engaging
10 or to suspend the engagement of any party acting or seeking to
11 act as a sales agent. The Division shall affirmatively verify
12 the tax status of every sales agency before issuing or renewing
13 a license, except that, if the State enters into a Management
14 and Concession Agreement pursuant to which the State authorizes
15 a Concessionaire to engage any sales agent, the Division shall
16 verify the tax status of each agent from the list of agents
17 provided by the Concessionaire pursuant to Section 10 of this
18 Act. For purposes of this Section, a sales agency shall not be
19 considered delinquent in the payment of a tax if the agency (a)
20 has entered into an agreement with the Department for the
21 payment of all such taxes that are due and (b) is in compliance

6 granted on-line status pursuant to the Department's rules must
7 pay a fee of $10 per week as partial reimbursement for
8 telecommunications charges incurred by the Department in
9 providing access to the lottery's on-line gaming system. The
10 Department, by rule, may increase or decrease the amount of
11 these fees. No Concessionaire that may retain sales agents for
12 the Lottery pursuant to the terms of a Management and
13 Concession Agreement may assess any fee pursuant this Section.

1 collection representative upon demand. Sales agents shall be
2 personally liable for all proceeds which shall be kept separate
3 and apart from all other funds and assets and shall not be
4 commingled with any other funds or assets. In the case of a
5 sales agent who is not an individual, personal liability shall
6 attach to the owners and officers of the sales agent. The
7 Department shall have a right to file a lien upon all real and
8 personal property of any person who is personally liable under
9 this Section for any unpaid proceeds, which were to be
10 segregated as a trust fund under this Section, at any time
11 after such payment was to have been made. Such lien shall
12 include any interest and penalty provided for by this Act and
13 shall be deemed equivalent to, and have the same effect as, the
14 State tax lien under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. The
15 term "person" as used in this Section, and in Section 10.4 of
16 this Act, shall have the same meaning as provided in Section 10
