What’s in it
AI summary The head of the lottery will create one scratch-off game and one pull-tab game each year to help homeless veterans. After paying out prizes, the money from these games will go into a special fund for veterans. This fund can now be used to pay for many different types of housing help, not just rent.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that the chief executive officer of the lottery authority shall develop and conduct one instant scratch and one pull-tab lottery game annually for the benefit of homeless veterans needing housing assistance. Moneys received from the games, less prizes, shall be transferred to the veterans trust fund established in Code section 35A.13. Code section 35A.13 is amended to provide for the receipt of moneys from the lottery for the games authorized by the bill and to allow expenditures from the veterans trust fund for housing assistance for homeless veterans and not just for rental housing assistance.
