An Act modernizing lottery operations

This bill modernizes the Massachusetts state lottery by updating rules for staff access to information, advertising requirements, and licensing. It allows lottery employees to access data for investigations, moves Keno advertising notices from local newspapers to the commission's website, and removes the restriction that prevents people from holding more than one sales license. The legislation also tightens conflict-of-interest rules by banning licenses for commission employees and their household members, while permitting those with minor investments in publicly traded companies. Finally, it establishes a new director position for the state lottery who would serve at the pleasure of the state treasurer.
