A bill for an act relating to the purchase of lottery shares and tickets by a courier service.
HSB 593 defines "courier service" as a for-profit business that purchases, stores, and delivers Iowa lottery shares or tickets to customers physically located in Iowa (excluding tribal lands). It requires written agreements between courier services and retailers to include specific safeguards: verifying customer location and age via software, securely storing tickets until pickup/delivery, implementing responsible gambling controls (like spending limits), prohibiting credit card purchases, and using dedicated terminals. The bill also mandates annual audits of compliance and prohibits retailers from mixing courier service sales with regular lottery sales. This directly affects courier services, retailers, and Iowa residents purchasing lottery items through these services.
