An Act relative to apportionment of lottery revenues

This bill proposes changing how Massachusetts distributes state lottery money to cities and towns. Currently, lottery funds are part of a larger pool of unrestricted aid, but this legislation would require that portion to be allocated based on the relative amount of lottery sales in each municipality. The change aims to ensure that communities where more lottery tickets are sold receive a larger share of the revenue. It directly affects the state's budgeting process and the financial resources available to local governments.
