event wagering; problem gambling fund

SB 1717 directs annual allocations from Arizona's state lottery fund to specific state programs. It sets aside $1.3 million each year for the problem gambling fund (established under § 5-1318.01) and an additional $1.3 million for the Department of Gaming's problem gambling treatment, prevention, and education programs. The bill also allocates funds to other areas like child safety, health education, teen pregnancy prevention, and homeless shelters, with all amounts adjusted annually for inflation. The bill does not create new gambling regulations but specifies how existing lottery revenue is distributed to designated state funds and programs.
