The bill amends Section 42-61-4 of the General Laws in Chapter 42-61, which pertains to the powers and duties of the director of the state lottery. A key change in the bill is the reduction of the required number of meetings the director must have with the permanent joint committee on state lottery from nine times per year to four times per year, or as called by the chair and vice chair of the committee. This adjustment aims to streamline the communication process between the director and the committee while maintaining oversight of lottery operations.
The bill also includes provisions that outline the responsibilities of the director, such as supervising lottery operations and ensuring financial reporting. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
