This bill prohibits the State Lottery Commission and any associated entities from selling lottery tickets over the internet. Specifically, it states that no lottery or lottery game shall be sold online by the State Lottery Commission or any contracted entities. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the State Lottery Commission cannot designate itself or any of its entities as a lottery sales agent under existing state law.

However, the bill does allow for the sale of lottery tickets via the internet by licensed courier services, as outlined in previous legislation. This measure comes in response to a recent proposal by the State Lottery Commission to begin internet sales, which is set to start in the fall of 2024. The bill aims to maintain traditional sales methods while ensuring that courier services retain the ability to operate online.
