BILL NUMBER:S2870
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to the disposi- tion of revenue from the lottery prize account
Summary of provisions
This bill decreases, by five percent, the amount of money allocated for lottery prizes; the bill increases, by five percent, the amount of money allocated to education. These changes apply to the "Daily Numbers Game," "Win 4," "Pick 10," "Take 5" and "Lotto" games.
Justification
State aid to education funding has been severely restricted over the past few years. A minor change in the disposition of revenue from the lottery prize account will increase state aid to strug- gling schools, without a negative impact on the lottery system.
Effective date
This act shall take effect on the first of October next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.
