Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to requiring the division of the lottery to give notice to local communities regarding new locations for certain lottery games

Purpose

To require the Lottery Division to give notice to local communities when Quick Draw is going to be offered at a new location, and to provide for an opportunity for local objections to be heard.

Summary of provisions

This legislation requires the Lottery Division to give notice to local communities when Quick Draw is going to be offered at a new location, and provides for the opportunity for a hearing before a license to sell Quick Draw tickets is issued.

Existing law

At present, there is no notice requirement, and no opportunity for local objections to be heard.

Justification

Newspaper and other accounts indicate that Quick Draw has had, and is continuing to have an impact on local communities as no other lottery game. Concerns range from the increase in traffic in the areas surrounding Quick Draw locations to the possible availability of the game to children at some locations to the creation of the atmosphere of "mini-casinos" at many locations. This legislation would ensure that local communities have notice before a new license to sell Quick Draw tickets is issued, and an opportunity to be heard before a final decision is made.
