H 133 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to repealing the statutes that authorize the State Lottery and sports wagering

H 133 would repeal Vermont's current laws authorizing the state lottery (31 V.S.A. Chapter 14) and sports wagering (31 V.S.A. Chapter 25). This bill directly affects current lottery operators, sports betting providers, and participants in Vermont who rely on these legally sanctioned activities. The key mechanism is removing the specific authorizations, making any lottery or sports wagering subject to Vermont's general gambling laws (13 V.S.A. Chapter 51), which treat such activities as criminal offenses. The bill does not create new rules but eliminates the existing legal framework for these specific gambling activities.
