Consumer protection: other; suspension of lottery licenses; allow for violations of the cryptocurrency kiosk prohibition act. Amends sec. 23 of 1972 PA 239 (MCL 432.23). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5986'26

This bill amends Michigan's lottery laws to establish a strict 90-day deadline for the state lottery commissioner to issue or deny sales agent licenses, ensuring applicants are not unduly delayed. It requires the commissioner to notify applicants of incomplete applications within 30 days and mandates a 15% fee reduction if the licensing process exceeds the statutory time limit. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that licensed agents may sell lottery tickets on state property and explicitly allows the commissioner to suspend licenses for violations of the cryptocurrency kiosk prohibition act. The bill also introduces new reporting requirements, obligating the commissioner to submit an annual report detailing application volumes, denial rates, and instances of missed deadlines to legislative committees.
