An Act regulating lottery funding

HD 1214 requires Massachusetts cities and towns that can offer state lottery sales to actually provide them in order to receive funding from the State Lottery and Gaming Fund. The bill amends Chapter 10 of the General Laws to state that municipalities unable or unwilling to sell lottery games forfeit eligibility for this funding. This directly affects local governments that currently do not host lottery sales but could. The key mechanism is withholding fund allocations from participating jurisdictions that fail to provide sales opportunities.
