Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    Sec. 21.12. Scratch-off for school STEAM programs.

(a) The Department shall offer a special instant scratch-off game for the benefit of school STEAM programming. The game shall commence on January 1, 2020 or as soon thereafter, at the discretion of the Director, as is reasonably practical, and shall be discontinued on January 1, 2021. The operation of the game shall be governed by the Act and any rules adopted by the Department. If any provision of this Section is inconsistent with any other provision of this Act, then this Section governs.

(b) The net revenue from the scratch-off for school STEAM programs shall be deposited into the School STEAM Grant Program Fund as soon as practical, but at least on a monthly basis. Moneys deposited into the Fund under this Section shall be used, subject to appropriation, by the State Board of Education to fund school STEAM grants pursuant to Section 2-3.119a of the School Code.

For purposes of this subsection, "net revenue" means the total amount for which tickets have been sold less the sum of the amount paid out in the prizes and the actual administrative expenses of the Department solely related to the scratch-off game under this Section.

(c) During the time that tickets are sold for the school STEAM programs scratch-off game, the Department shall not unreasonably diminish the efforts devoted to marketing any other instant scratch-off lottery game.

(d) The Department may adopt any rules necessary to implement and administer the provisions of this Section.
