SB 26 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of August 26, 1971 (P.L.351, No.91), known as the State Lottery Law, in State Lottery, further providing for powers and duties of secretary.

SB 26 amends Pennsylvania's State Lottery Law to adjust the percentage of lottery revenue dedicated to property tax relief and senior transit programs. It specifies that for fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2029, at least 25% of lottery revenues must fund these programs (previously 20% for 2019-2029). This directly affects Pennsylvania residents receiving property tax relief and seniors eligible for free/reduced-fare transit. The bill updates the allocation schedule without changing the secretary's administrative role under the lottery law.
