The bill H.133 proposes the repeal of Vermont Statutes Annotated (V.S.A.) chapters 14, which governs the State Lottery, and 25, which regulates sports wagering. By eliminating these chapters, the bill aims to ensure that any individual or entity offering lottery or sports wagering services will be subject to the criminal provisions outlined in 13 V.S.A. chapter 51, which pertains to gambling and lotteries.

This legislative action reflects a significant shift in the state's approach to gambling and gaming regulations, moving away from the current framework that allows for state-sponsored lottery and sports betting. The bill underscores a commitment to enforcing stricter controls on gambling activities by aligning them with existing criminal statutes.
