The bill S. 80 proposes an amendment to Section 59-150-70 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically addressing the payment methods for lottery game tickets. The amendment allows for payment by debit card, which is a significant change from the current law that prohibits all forms of deferred payment, including credit cards and checks. The new language specifies that all sales must be conducted for cash or debit card payment only, thereby eliminating the previous restrictions on payment methods.

This legislation aims to modernize the payment options available for lottery games, enhancing convenience for players while ensuring compliance with the Administrative Procedures Act. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, reflecting a shift towards more accessible payment methods in the state's lottery system.
