AN ACT INCREASING THE MINIMUM AVERAGE COMMISSION PAYABLE TO LOTTERY SALES AGENTS.

SB 671 increases the minimum average commission rate for retail lottery sales agents from the current rate to 6.5 percent. This bill directly affects agents who sell state lottery tickets at participating retail locations, such as convenience stores. The key provision amends Chapter 229a of the general statutes to establish this new minimum commission rate. The change ensures agents receive a higher guaranteed average payout per ticket sold, without altering other existing commission structures.
