Relating to the abolishment of the state lottery.

HB 2918 would end Texas' state lottery commission by requiring its abolition on September 1, 2029, unless extended under the Texas Sunset Act. The bill amends state law to prohibit individuals with financial ties to lottery or bingo industries (like ownership, employment, or lobbying) from serving on the commission or working in key roles. It also bans commission members from participating in state lottery games or accepting benefits from lottery-related businesses. These provisions aim to prevent conflicts of interest as the lottery system is phased out. The bill directly affects the state lottery commission, its members, employees, and businesses regulated by the commission.
