Relating to the membership of and qualifications for the Texas Lottery Commission.

SB 2153 amends Texas law to change the composition and qualifications for the Texas Lottery Commission. It increases the commission to seven members: five voting members with specific expertise (including a law enforcement professional, attorney, CPA, and bingo industry expert) and two nonvoting members (one representing the Texas Food and Fuel Association and one with gaming industry knowledge). The bill also adds restrictions preventing members from having conflicts of interest, such as owning regulated businesses, receiving substantial funds from the commission, or being lobbyists for lottery-related industries. This is a procedural bill focused solely on who serves on the commission, not on lottery operations or public policy changes.
