Declares Division of State Lottery's new rule concerning online lottery sales inconsistent with legislative intent.
This bill (SCR 63) declares the Division of State Lottery's rule allowing direct online sales of lottery tickets inconsistent with the State Lottery Act. It directly affects the Division of State Lottery (within the Department of Treasury), which proposed this rule in 2022 and adopted it in 2023. The Legislature states the rule violates the Act's prohibition on state agencies acting as "exclusive lottery sales agents" (N.J.S.A. 5:9-11). The resolution requires the Division to amend or withdraw the rule within 30 days or face potential future invalidation by the Legislature.
