The bill S.268, introduced by Senators Chittenden and Brennan, seeks to authorize the Board of Liquor and Lottery to sell lottery tickets, products, and subscriptions through mobile applications, mobile devices, and the internet. The new section 665 added to 31 V.S.A. outlines the authority and procedures for these mobile and internet lottery sales. It specifies that all purchases must be initiated and received within the state of Vermont and establishes exemptions from public inspection for certain records related to personal and financial information, trade secrets, and security measures.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Board adopt procedures to govern these sales, which will be published on the Department's website and require public hearings for community input. Notably, the procedures adopted will have the force of law without the need for traditional rulemaking processes. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
