California State Lottery: prize assignment.

Summary
The California State Lottery Act of 1984, an initiative measure, authorizes a California State Lottery and provides for its operation and administration by the California State Lottery Commission and the Director of the California State Lottery, with certain limitations. The act prohibits the assignment of the right of any person to a prize, but authorizes assignment of the payment of a lottery prize, in whole or in part, under specified circumstances, including if there is a judicial order appointing a conservator or a guardian for the protection of the prizewinner, or for adjudicating rights to, or ownership of, the prize. This bill would instead authorize assignment of the payment of a prize if there is an appropriate judicial order issued for either (1) appointing a conservator or guardian for the protection of the prizewinner or (2) adjudicating rights to, or ownership of, the prize.

The statutory text of Section 8880.325 and the legislative counsel's digest are identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from an official chaptered bill (with 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' header) to a web page display that includes navigation menus, search fields, and site UI elements. The underlying legal text is unchanged.
