Revise laws relating to the state lottery and review authority
This bill expands the powers of Montana's State Lottery and Sports Wagering Commission by requiring the commission to review and approve all vendor contracts used in lottery operations, rather than leaving procurement decisions solely to the commission director. The legislation also clarifies the commission's existing duties, including setting game policies, determining prize structures, and overseeing sales agent licensing. Additionally, it prohibits sports wagering licenses from being issued to individuals directly involved in professional or collegiate sports, such as players, coaches, and team staff, to prevent conflicts of interest. These changes aim to increase oversight and transparency in how the state lottery manages its contracts and regulates its sales agents.
