governing unclaimed horse racing ticket and voucher money.
This bill requires horse racing operators in New Hampshire to turn over unclaimed ticket and voucher money to the state treasurer. The law mandates that any unclaimed funds remain unpaid for 12 months before being forfeited to a special state fund, while operators must submit detailed reports of these unclaimed items to the treasurer and the lottery commission. Once the money is transferred to the state, the lottery commission can issue payment to ticket holders who claim their tickets within a specific timeframe. The bill takes effect 60 days after it is passed by the legislature and signed by the governor.
