This bill amends the State Lottery Act by modifying section 9-829 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska. The key change is the removal of the prohibition against selling lottery tickets through vending or dispensing devices, allowing for a new method of ticket sales. The bill maintains existing restrictions that tickets can only be sold on the premises stated in the retailer's contract, and prohibits sales over the phone or through the mail, as well as extending 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. This change aims to modernize the lottery ticket sales process and potentially increase accessibility for consumers.
