Constitutional Amendments - Proposes constitutional amendment to Article XI, Section 5 of the Tennessee Constitution to allow the general assembly to authorize the entity operating the state lottery to develop lottery games to be used exclusively to fund veterans' services. -

SJR 614 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Tennessee's General Assembly to direct the state lottery entity to develop and operate specific lottery games whose revenue is exclusively dedicated to funding veterans' services. This would amend Article XI, Section 5 of the Tennessee Constitution to create a new, dedicated funding stream for veterans' programs, separate from current lottery revenue allocations. The amendment requires approval by the legislature and then by voters to become part of the state constitution.
