Assembly Bill 907 proposes significant changes to the requirements for state lottery drawings in Wisconsin. The bill repeals existing mandates that require drawings to be witnessed by an independent certified public accountant and that the equipment used for the drawings be inspected by both an independent certified public accountant and a Department of Revenue employee. In place of these requirements, the bill introduces new provisions that stipulate the drawings must consist of random selections of winning results, allowing the Department of Revenue (DOR) to utilize mechanical, electrical, or computerized methods for these selections.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the DOR must contract with an independent firm at least annually to audit the drawing processes and review the technologies, security procedures, and systems security related to the lottery drawings. This shift aims to enhance the integrity and security of the lottery drawing process while streamlining the operational requirements for the DOR.
