HB 2444 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to limiting financial records of limited video lottery permittees that are subject to examination by Lottery Commission

HB 2444 limits the types of financial records that video lottery businesses (permittees) must provide to the Lottery Commission during examinations. Specifically, it restricts the Commission's authority to require certain detailed financial documents from these businesses. The bill directly affects licensed video lottery operators by reducing the scope of financial information they must disclose during official reviews. This enacted law (Chapter 124, 2025 Regular Session) changes compliance requirements for permittees without altering lottery operations or public funding.
