LB 782 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change the percentage of the tax on gross proceeds submitted to the Department of Revenue under the Nebraska County and City Lottery Act

This bill changes the tax rate applied to gross lottery proceeds collected by Nebraska counties, cities, and villages under the County and City Lottery Act. The current law requires a 1.2% tax (as stated in "one two percent" in the original text), but the bill amends this rate without specifying the new percentage. Taxes would continue to be submitted quarterly to the Department of Revenue for deposit into the Charitable Gaming Operations Fund. The change takes effect July 1, 2026.
