This bill amends section 9-829 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the State Lottery Act. The key change is the removal of the prohibition against selling lottery tickets through vending or dispensing devices. The bill maintains that lottery game retailers must sell tickets only on their premises as stated in their contracts, and it continues to prohibit sales over the telephone or through the mail, as well as the extension of credit for ticket purchases.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal the original section 9-829, effectively updating the law to reflect the new allowance for vending machine sales of lottery tickets. This change aims to modernize the sales methods for lottery tickets in Nebraska, potentially increasing accessibility for consumers.
