6 | (20 ILCS 1605/10.9 new) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 10.9. Specialty retailer license for community senior | ||||||
8 | services and resource centers. | ||||||
9 | (a) The Division shall establish a special classification | ||||||
10 | of retailer license to facilitate the year-round sale of the | ||||||
11 | instant scratch-off lottery game established under Section | ||||||
12 | 21.9 of this Act. The fees set forth in Section 10.2 of this | ||||||
13 | Act do not apply to a specialty retailer license. The holder of | ||||||
14 | a specialty retailer license shall: (i) be a community senior | ||||||
15 | services and resource center as established under the Community | ||||||
16 | Senior Services and Resources Act; (ii) only sell instant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | scratch-off lottery tickets established under Section 21.9 of | ||||||
2 | this Act; (iii) be required to purchase those instant | ||||||
3 | scratch-off lottery tickets at face value from the Illinois | ||||||
4 | Lottery; and (iv) only sell those tickets at face value. | ||||||
5 | Specialty retailer licensees may obtain a refund from the | ||||||
6 | Division for any unsold instant scratch-off lottery tickets | ||||||
7 | that they have purchased for resale, as set forth in the | ||||||
8 | specialty retailer agreement. | ||||||
9 | (b) A specialty retailer licensee shall receive a sales | ||||||
10 | commission equal to 2% of the face value of specialty game | ||||||
11 | tickets purchased from the Department, less adjustments for | ||||||
12 | unsold tickets returned to the Illinois Lottery for credit. A | ||||||
13 | specialty retailer licensee may not cash winning tickets, but | ||||||
14 | are entitled to a 1% bonus in connection with the sale of a | ||||||
15 | winning specialty game ticket having a price value of $1,000 or | ||||||
16 | more. | ||||||
17 | (20 ILCS 1605/21.9 new) | ||||||
18 | Sec. 21.9. Scratch-off for Seniors. | ||||||
19 | (a) The Department shall offer a special instant | ||||||
20 | scratch-off game for the benefit of Illinois seniors with the | ||||||
21 | title of "Scratch-off for Seniors". The game shall commence on | ||||||
22 | July 1, 2011 or as soon thereafter, at the discretion of the | ||||||
23 | Director, as is reasonably practical. The operation of the game | ||||||
24 | shall be governed by this Act and any rules adopted by the | ||||||
25 | Department. If any provision of this Section is inconsistent |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with any other provision of this Act, then this Section | ||||||
2 | governs. | ||||||
3 | (b) The net revenue from the Scratch-Off for Seniors game | ||||||
4 | shall be deposited into the Community Senior Services and | ||||||
5 | Resources Fund for appropriation by the General Assembly to the | ||||||
6 | Department of Aging for the purpose of making grants to | ||||||
7 | community senior services and resource centers as established | ||||||
8 | under the Community Senior Services and Resources Act. | ||||||
9 | Moneys collected from the Scratch-Off for Seniors game | ||||||
10 | shall be used only as supplemental financial resources and | ||||||
11 | shall not supplant existing moneys that the Department on Aging | ||||||
12 | may currently expend on community senior services and resource | ||||||
13 | centers. | ||||||
14 | Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, | ||||||
15 | including, without limitation, net revenue from the | ||||||
16 | Scratch-Off for Seniors game and from gifts, grants, and awards | ||||||
17 | from any public or private entity, must be deposited into the | ||||||
18 | Fund. Any interest earned on moneys in the Fund must be | ||||||
19 | deposited into the Fund. | ||||||
20 | For purposes of this subsection (b), "net revenue" means | ||||||
21 | the total amount for which tickets have been sold less the sum | ||||||
22 | of the amount paid out in prizes and the actual administrative | ||||||
23 | expenses of the Department solely related to the Scratch-Off | ||||||
24 | for Seniors game under this Section. | ||||||
25 | (c) The Department shall not unreasonably diminish the | ||||||
26 | efforts devoted to marketing any other instant scratch-off |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | lottery game as a result of selling tickets for the Scratch-Off | ||||||
2 | for Seniors game. | ||||||
3 | (d) The Department may adopt any rules necessary to | ||||||
4 | implement and administer the provisions of this Section.
| ||||||
5 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
6 | becoming law.".
