MODERATE

This diff shows the transition from House Amendment No. 1 (which proposed correcting a revenue figure from $1 billion to $320 million and moving the report deadline from January 15 to February 15, 2027) to the final adopted text of HCR 157. The amendments were not incorporated into the final bill, meaning the original figures and dates remain. The final resolution requests a comprehensive report from the State Lottery Office on iLottery performance and options to support physical lottery retailers.

Scope change

The scope remained the same (a report request on iLottery), but the final text confirms the original January 15, 2027 deadline and $1 billion revenue figure were retained rather than the amended versions proposed in HA 1.

SCOPE

The document changed from an amendment proposing two corrections (revenue figure and deadline date) to the full text of the concurrent resolution itself, indicating the amendments were not adopted and the original resolution passed as introduced.

Additional co-sponsors were added: Sen. Paradee and Reps. Bolden, Chukwuocha, Cooke, Lynn, and Phillips, broadening the coalition behind the resolution.

REQUIREMENT

The final resolution requires the State Lottery Office to submit a report by January 15, 2027 containing: in-store vs iLottery sales data since implementation through end of 2026, revenue analysis between affiliate and non-affiliate retailers, state revenue from iLottery plus all vendor costs and expenses, and promotional spending with future plans.

The resolution also requires an analysis of four specific options to support physical retailers: reserving PowerBall and MegaMillions for in-store only, reserving other game combinations for in-store only, creating a fund from newly generated iLottery revenue for retailers, and increasing retailer commissions based on iLottery revenue.
