Montana State Lottery Act
Montana · Parks, Recreation, Sports, and Gambling · §§ 23-7-101 to 23-7-412 · 31 sections
Overview
The State Lottery Act authorizes a state-run lottery and places its administration in an executive agency headed by a director, setting out that agency's powers and duties and its authority to adopt rules governing the lottery's operation. It requires anyone selling lottery tickets to hold a license, specifying application and fee requirements, bonding and insurance obligations, display and renewal terms, and grounds for denial, suspension, or revocation, and it constrains the enterprise itself through limits on which games may be offered, how the lottery may advertise, how it must procure goods and services, and which contracts and sales are forbidden. The act layers accountability over both sides of that scheme — audits and independent financial review, investigations, enforcement and security provisions, confidentiality rules for sensitive records, document retention and meeting-recording requirements, demographic study of who plays, and periodic review of the program's continued operation — while exempting lottery proceeds or activity from certain taxation.
