An act relating to internet lottery sales

This bill authorizes Vermont's Lottery Board to sell lottery tickets, products, and subscriptions through mobile apps, mobile devices, or the internet, effective July 1, 2026. It requires all such purchases to be initiated and received within Vermont, prohibiting intentional routing outside state lines. The bill also creates confidentiality exemptions under Vermont's Public Records Act for customer financial data, business records, and security systems related to online sales. It mandates public hearings for sales procedures but bypasses standard rulemaking processes for these rules. The policy change directly affects Vermont residents who purchase lottery tickets online and the Lottery Board as the operator.
