This bill amends section 9-648 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Nebraska County and City Lottery Act. The primary change involves the tax percentage that counties, cities, or villages must submit on gross lottery proceeds. The bill reduces the tax rate from two percent to one percent. This tax is to be submitted quarterly and remitted to the State Treasurer for the Charitable Gaming Operations Fund, with penalties for any deficiencies in payment. Additionally, the bill establishes an operative date of July 1, 2026, and includes a provision for the repeal of the original section 9-648. It also declares an emergency, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
