SB 1991 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the conduct of the state lottery; creating a criminal offense.

Texas Senate Bill 1991 regulates state lottery operations by requiring physical paper "playslips" (not electronic) for ticket purchases and banning fast-scanning devices at sales locations. It mandates that sales agents file IRS Form 8300 and a separate state-comptroller form for all cash lottery purchases over $10,000. The bill creates a criminal penalty (state jail felony) for sales agents who fail to complete and file these forms. These provisions directly affect lottery sales agents and vendors who handle high-value cash transactions.
