An Act amending the act of August 26, 1971 (P.L.351, No.91), known as the State Lottery Law, in pharmaceutical assistance for the elderly, further providing for definitions.

This bill updates the definition of "income" within Pennsylvania's State Lottery Law to determine eligibility for pharmaceutical assistance for the elderly. It explicitly includes various sources of money like pensions, Social Security benefits, and interest, while excluding items such as surplus food, savings bond principal, and veterans' benefits. By clarifying what counts as income, the law helps officials accurately assess which seniors qualify for lottery-funded prescription drug aid. The changes take effect on July 1, 2024, or later if that date is not reached.
