a lottery to be conducted by the State through the Department. The entire net proceeds of the Lottery
are to be used for the support of the State's Common School Fund,
except as otherwise provided in this Act.

The Department shall be accountable to the General Assembly and the people of the State through a comprehensive system of regulation, audits, reports, and enduring operational oversight. The Department's ongoing conduct of the Lottery through a management agreement with a private manager shall act to promote and ensure the integrity, security, honesty, and fairness of the Lottery's operation and administration. It is the intent of the General Assembly that the Department shall conduct the Lottery with the assistance of a private manager under a management agreement at all times in a manner consistent with 18 U.S.C. 1307(a)(1), 1307(b)(1), 1953(b)(4).
Beginning with Fiscal Year 2018 and every year thereafter, any moneys transferred from the State Lottery Fund to the Common School Fund shall be supplemental to, and not in lieu of, any other money due to be transferred to the Common School Fund by law or appropriation.

(b) The Director shall devote his or her entire time and attention to the
duties of the office and shall not be engaged in any other profession or
occupation.

Sec. 7.12. Internet program.
(a) The General Assembly finds that:
It is the intent of the General Assembly to create an Internet program for the sale of lottery tickets to capture this new form of market participant.
(b) The Department shall create a program that allows an individual 18 years of age or older to purchase lottery tickets or shares on the Internet without using a Lottery retailer with on-line status, as those terms are defined by rule. The Department shall restrict the sale of lottery tickets on the Internet to transactions initiated and received or otherwise made exclusively within the State of Illinois. The Department shall adopt rules necessary for the administration of this program. These rules shall include, among other things, requirements for marketing of the Lottery to infrequent players, as well as limitations on the purchases that may be made through any one individual's lottery account. The provisions of this Act and the rules adopted under this Act shall apply to the sale of lottery tickets or shares under this program.
The Department is obligated to implement the program set forth in this Section and Sections 7.15 and 7.16. The Department may offer Lotto, Lucky Day Lotto, Mega Millions, Powerball, Pick 3, Pick 4, and other draw games that are offered at retail locations through the Internet program. The private manager shall obtain the Director's approval before providing any draw games. Any draw game tickets that are approved for sale by lottery licensees are automatically approved for sale through the Internet program. The Department shall maintain responsible gaming controls in its policies.
The Department shall authorize the private manager to implement and administer the program pursuant to the management agreement entered into under Section 9.1 and in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section. If a private manager has not been selected pursuant to Section 9.1 at the time the Department is obligated to implement the program, then the Department shall not proceed with the program until after the selection of the private manager, at which time the Department shall authorize the private manager to implement and administer the program pursuant to the management agreement entered into under Section 9.1 and in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed as prohibiting the Department from implementing and operating a website portal whereby individuals who are 18 years of age or older with an Illinois mailing address may apply to purchase lottery tickets via subscription. Nothing in this Section shall also be construed as prohibiting the Lottery draw game tickets authorized for sale through the Internet program under this Section from also continuing to be sold at retail locations by a lottery licensee pursuant to the Department's rules.

The Department must establish a procedure to verify that an individual is 18 years of age or older and that the sale of lottery tickets on the Internet is limited to transactions that are initiated and received or otherwise made exclusively within the State of Illinois, unless the federal Department of Justice indicates that it is legal for the transactions to originate in states other than Illinois. An individual must satisfy the verification procedure before he or she may establish one Internet lottery account and purchase lottery tickets or shares through the Internet pilot program. By rule, the Department shall establish funding procedures for Internet lottery accounts and shall provide a mechanism to prevent the unauthorized use of Internet lottery accounts. If any participant in the pilot program violates any provisions of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly or rule established by the Department, the participant's winnings shall be forfeited. Such forfeited winnings shall be deposited in the Common School Fund.

Sec. 8.
In connection with any hearing held pursuant to Section
7.3 of this Act, the Board, or any Hearing Officer appointed by the
Board, may subpoena and compel the appearance of witnesses and
production of documents, papers, books, records and other evidence before
it in any matter over which it has jurisdiction, control or supervision.
The Board, or any appointed Hearing Officer, shall have the
power to administer
oaths and affirmations to persons
whose testimony is required. If a person subpoenaed to attend in any such
proceeding or hearing fails to obey the command of the subpoena without
reasonable cause, or if a person in attendance in any such proceeding or
hearing refuses, without lawful cause, to be examined or to answer a legal
or pertinent question or to exhibit any books, account, record or other
document when ordered so to do by the Board or its Hearing Officer, the
Board or Hearing Officer may apply to the
circuit court, upon proof by affidavit of the facts, for an
order returnable in not less than 2 nor more than 10 days, or as the court
may prescribe, directing such person to show cause before the court why
he or she should not comply with such subpoena or such order.
Upon return of the order, the court shall examine such person under oath,
and if the court
determines, after giving such person an opportunity to be heard, that he
or she refused without legal excuse to comply with such subpoena or such order of
the Board or Hearing Officer, the court may order such person to comply
therewith immediately
and any failure to obey the order of the court may be punished as a
contempt of court.
All subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum issued under the provisions of
this Act may be served by any person of lawful age. The fees of witnesses
for attendance and travel shall be the same as the fees of witnesses before
the circuit courts of this State. When the witness is subpoenaed at the
instance of the Department or any officer or employee thereof, such fees
shall be paid in the same manner as other expenses of the Department. When
the witness is subpoenaed at the
instance of any other party to any such proceeding, the Department may
require that the cost of service of the subpoena or subpoena duces tecum and the fee of
the witness be borne by the party at whose instance the witness is summoned.
In such case, and on motion of the Department, the Board or its Hearing
Officer may require a deposit to cover the cost of such service and witness fees.
The Department, or any officer or employee thereof, or any other party to
a hearing before the Board or its Hearing Officers, may cause the
depositions of witnesses within the State to be taken in the manner
prescribed by law for like depositions in civil actions in courts of this
State, and to that end compel the attendance of witnesses and the
production of books, papers, records or memoranda.

Sec. 9.1. Private manager and management agreement.
(a) As used in this Section:
"Offeror" means a person or group of persons that responds to a request for qualifications under this Section.
"Request for qualifications" means all materials and documents prepared by the Department to solicit the following from offerors:
"Final offer" means the last proposal submitted by an offeror in response to the request for qualifications, including the identity of any prospective vendor or vendors that the offeror intends to initially engage to assist the offeror in performing its obligations under the management agreement.
"Final offeror" means the offeror ultimately selected by the Governor to be the private manager for the Lottery under subsection (h) of this Section.
(b) By September 15, 2010, the Governor shall select a private manager for the total management of the Lottery with integrated functions, such as lottery game design, supply of goods and services, and advertising and as specified in this Section.
(c) Pursuant to the terms of this subsection, the Department shall endeavor to expeditiously terminate the existing contracts in support of the Lottery in effect on July 13, 2009 (the effective date of Public Act 96-37) in connection with the selection of the private manager. As part of its obligation to terminate these contracts and select the private manager, the Department shall establish a mutually agreeable timetable to transfer the functions of existing contractors to the private manager so that existing Lottery operations are not materially diminished or impaired during the transition. To that end, the Department shall do the following:
If the contracts to support the current operation of the Lottery in effect on July 13, 2009 (the effective date of Public Act 96-34) are not subject to termination as provided for in this subsection (c), then the Department may include a provision in the contract with the private manager specifying a mutually agreeable methodology for incorporation.
(c-5) The Department shall include provisions in the management agreement whereby the private manager shall, for a fee, and pursuant to a contract negotiated with the Department (the "Employee Use Contract"), utilize the services of current Department employees to assist in the administration and operation of the Lottery. The Department shall be the employer of all such bargaining unit employees assigned to perform such work for the private manager, and such employees shall be State employees, as defined by the Personnel Code. Department employees shall operate under the same employment policies, rules, regulations, and procedures, as other employees of the Department. In addition, neither historical representation rights under the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, nor existing collective bargaining agreements, shall be disturbed by the management agreement with the private manager for the management of the Lottery.
(d) The management agreement with the private manager shall include all of the following:
(e) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the Department shall select a private manager through a competitive request for qualifications process consistent with Section 20-35 of the Illinois Procurement Code, which shall take into account:
(f) The Department may retain the services of an advisor or advisors with significant experience in financial services or the management, operation, and procurement of goods, services, and equipment for a government-run lottery to assist in the preparation of the terms of the request for qualifications and selection of the private manager. Any prospective advisor seeking to provide services under this subsection (f) shall disclose any material business or financial relationship during the past 3 years with any potential offeror, or with a contractor or subcontractor presently providing goods, services, or equipment to the Department to support the Lottery. The Department shall evaluate the material business or financial relationship of each prospective advisor. The Department shall not select any prospective advisor with a substantial business or financial relationship that the Department deems to impair the objectivity of the services to be provided by the prospective advisor. During the course of the advisor's engagement by the Department, and for a period of one year thereafter, the advisor shall not enter into any business or financial relationship with any offeror or any vendor identified to assist an offeror in performing its obligations under the management agreement. Any advisor retained by the Department shall be disqualified from being an offeror.
The Department shall not include terms in the request for qualifications that provide a material advantage whether directly or indirectly to any potential offeror, or any contractor or subcontractor presently providing goods, services, or equipment to the Department to support the Lottery, including terms contained in previous responses to requests for proposals or qualifications submitted to Illinois, another State or foreign government when those terms are uniquely associated with a particular potential offeror, contractor, or subcontractor. The request for proposals offered by the Department on December 22, 2008 as "LOT08GAMESYS" and reference number "22016176" is declared void.
(g) The Department shall select at least 2 offerors as finalists to potentially serve as the private manager no later than August 9, 2010. Upon making preliminary selections, the Department shall schedule a public hearing on the finalists' proposals and provide public notice of the hearing at least 7 calendar days before the hearing. The notice must include all of the following:
(h) At the public hearing, the Department shall (i) provide sufficient time for each finalist to present and explain its proposal to the Department and the Governor or the Governor's designee, including an opportunity to respond to questions posed by the Department, Governor, or designee and (ii) allow the public and non-selected offerors to comment on the presentations. The Governor or a designee shall attend the public hearing. After the public hearing, the Department shall have 14 calendar days to recommend to the Governor whether a management agreement should be entered into with a particular finalist. After reviewing the Department's recommendation, the Governor may accept or reject the Department's recommendation, and shall select a final offeror as the private manager by publication of a notice in the Illinois Procurement Bulletin on or before September 15, 2010. The Governor shall include in the notice a detailed explanation and the reasons why the final offeror is superior to other offerors and will provide management services in a manner that best achieves the objectives of this Section. The Governor shall also sign the management agreement with the private manager.
(i) Any action to contest the private manager selected by the Governor under this Section must be brought within 7 calendar days after the publication of the notice of the designation of the private manager as provided in subsection (h) of this Section.

(m) Neither this Section nor any management agreement entered into under this Section prohibits the General Assembly from authorizing forms of gambling that are not in direct competition with the Lottery. The forms of gambling authorized by Public Act 101-31 constitute authorized forms of gambling that are not in direct competition with the Lottery.
(n) The private manager shall be subject to a complete investigation in the third, seventh, and tenth years of the agreement (if the agreement is for a 10-year term) by the Department in cooperation with the Auditor General to determine whether the private manager has complied with this Section and the management agreement.

This Section and any rules adopted under this Section contain full and complete authority for a management agreement between the Department and a private manager. No law, procedure, proceeding, publication, notice, consent, approval, order, or act by the Department or any other officer, Department, agency, or instrumentality of the State or any political subdivision is required for the Department to enter into a management agreement under this Section. This Section contains full and complete authority for the Department to approve any contracts entered into by a private manager with a vendor providing goods, services, or both goods and services to the private manager under the terms of the management agreement, including subcontractors of such vendors.

The Department shall also provide the Chief Procurement Officer with reasonable advance written notice of any contract that is pending Department approval.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, the Chief Procurement Officer shall adopt administrative rules, including emergency rules, to establish a procurement process to select a successor private manager if a private management agreement has been terminated. The selection process shall at a minimum take into account the criteria set forth in items (1) through (4) of subsection (e) of this Section and may include provisions consistent with subsections (f), (g), (h), and (i) of this Section. The Chief Procurement Officer shall also implement and administer the adopted selection process upon the termination of a private management agreement. The Department, after the Chief Procurement Officer certifies that the procurement process has been followed in accordance with the rules adopted under this subsection (o), shall select a final offeror as the private manager and sign the management agreement with the private manager.

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2025)
Sec. 9.2. Reconciliation of Fiscal Year 2017 through Fiscal Year 2022 annual net lottery proceeds.
(a) The Office of the Auditor General concluded in the Department's annual fiscal year audits for Fiscal Year 2017, Fiscal Year 2018, Fiscal Year 2019, Fiscal Year 2020, and Fiscal Year 2021 that annual net lottery proceeds from the State Lottery Fund to the Common School Fund exceeded the annual net lottery proceeds available to transfer as described in subsection (o) of Section 9.1. The excess transfers to the Common School Fund during those fiscal years resulted in transfers of annual net lottery proceeds to the Capital Projects Fund as required by paragraph (4) of subsection (o) of Section 9.1 not being sent. The Department had no statutory authority to offset future transfers as described in paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of Section 9.3 during Fiscal Year 2017, Fiscal Year 2018, Fiscal Year 2019, Fiscal Year 2020, or Fiscal Year 2021 to reconcile the discrepancies.
(b) The Department is hereby authorized to reconcile the discrepancies occurring in Fiscal Year 2017, Fiscal Year 2018, Fiscal Year 2019, Fiscal Year 2020, and Fiscal Year 2021 as reported by the Office of the Auditor General. The Department shall accomplish this reconciliation by offsetting its monthly transfers to the Common School Fund to recover the resulting cash deficit in the State Lottery Fund and separately transferring the deficient amounts owed to the Capital Projects Fund. All offsets and transfers shall be done in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for government entities. The Department shall determine, in coordination with the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, an appropriate schedule for the offsets and transfers. All offsets and transfers shall be completed no later than June 30, 2023.
(c) The Department is also authorized to reconcile any discrepancies that may occur in Fiscal Year 2022, if the annual net lottery proceeds transferred from the State Lottery Fund to the Common School Fund exceed the annual net lottery proceeds available to transfer. The Department shall determine whether there were any excess transfers by June 30, 2023. The Department shall reconcile any discrepancies by offsetting its monthly transfers to the Common School Fund to recover the resulting cash deficit in the State Lottery Fund and separately transferring the deficient amounts owed to the Capital Projects Fund. All offsets and transfers shall be done in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting principles. All offsets and transfers for Fiscal Year 2022 discrepancies shall be completed no later than June 30, 2024.
(d) This Section is repealed on January 1, 2025.

(b) The net lottery proceeds shall be determined by deducting from total annual lottery proceeds the expenditures required by paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a). The total annual lottery proceeds and annual net lottery proceeds shall be determined according to generally accepted accounting principles for governmental entities and verified by an annual fiscal year audit.

applicant meets all of the qualifications specified in this Act, shall
issue a license as an agent to sell lottery tickets or shares. No license

conspicuously displayed in the place of business conducted by the licensee
in Illinois where lottery tickets or shares are to be sold under such license.

penalty or interest, as required by any tax Act administered by the
Department of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of any
such tax Act are satisfied, unless the agency is contesting, in accordance
with the procedures established by the appropriate revenue Act, its
liability for the tax or the amount of tax. The Department shall
affirmatively verify the tax status of every sales agency before issuing or
renewing a license. For purposes of this Section, a sales agency shall not

whole or in part, if the assignment is made to a person or entity designated
pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction located in the

a voluntary assignment and directing the Department to make prize payments in
whole or in part to the designated assignee, if the court finds that all of the

(b) A certified copy of a court order approving a voluntary assignment must
be provided to the Department no later than 30 days before the date on which
the payment is to be made.
(c) A court order obtained pursuant to this Section, together with all such

obligation or on account of a
debt owed to a State agency. Each court order issued under subsection (a) shall
provide that any delinquent child support or criminal restitution obligations
of the assigning prize winner and any debts owed to a State agency by the
assigning prize winner, as of the date of the court order, shall be set off by
the Department first against remaining payments or portions thereof due the
prize winner and then against payments due the assignee.
(f) The Department and its respective officials and employees shall be
discharged of all liability upon payment of an assigned prize under this
Section. The assignor and assignee shall hold harmless and indemnify the
Department, the State of Illinois, and its employees and agents from all
claims, actions, suits, complaints, and liabilities related to the assignment.
(g) The Department may establish a reasonable fee to defray any
administrative expenses associated with assignments made under this Section,
including the cost to the Department of any processing fee that may be imposed
by a private annuity provider. The fee amount shall reflect the direct and
indirect costs associated with processing assignments.
(h) If at any time the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent
jurisdiction issues a determination letter, revenue ruling, other public ruling
of the Internal Revenue Service, or published decision to the Department or to
any lottery prize winner declaring that the voluntary assignment of prizes will
affect the federal income tax treatment of prize winners who do not assign
their prizes, the Department shall immediately file a copy of that letter,
ruling, or published decision with the Attorney General, the Secretary of
State, and the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts. A court may not
issue an order authorizing a voluntary assignment under this Section after the
date any such ruling, letter, or published decision is filed.
(i) A contract of assignment in which the assignor is a lottery winner
shall include a sworn affidavit from the assignee. The form of the affidavit
shall be established by the Department and shall include:
(j) The assignee shall notify the Department of its business location and

Sec. 21. All lottery sales agents or distributors shall be liable to the
Lottery for any and all tickets accepted or generated by any employee or
representative of that agent or distributor, and such tickets shall be deemed
to have been purchased by the agent or distributor unless returned to the
Lottery within the time and in the manner prescribed by the Director. All
moneys received by such agents or distributors from the sale of lottery tickets
or shares, less the amount retained as compensation for the sale of the tickets
or shares and the amount paid out as prizes, shall be paid over to a lottery
representative or deposited in a bank or savings and loan association approved
by the State Treasurer, as prescribed by the Director.
No bank or savings and loan association shall receive public funds as
permitted by this Section, unless it has complied with the requirements
established pursuant to Section 6 of the Public Funds Investment Act.
Each payment or deposit shall be accompanied by a report of the agent's
receipts and transactions in the sale of lottery tickets in such form and
containing such information as the Director may require. Any
discrepancies in such receipts and transactions may be resolved as
provided by the rules and regulations of the Department.
If any money due the Lottery by a sales agent or distributor is not paid
when due or demanded, it shall immediately become delinquent and be billed
on a subsequent monthly statement. If on the closing date for any monthly
statement a delinquent amount previously billed of more than $50 remains
unpaid, interest in such amount shall be accrued at the rate of 2% per month
or fraction thereof from the date when such delinquent amount becomes past
due until such delinquent amount, including interest, penalty and other
costs and charges that the Department may incur in collecting such amounts, is
paid. In case any agent or distributor fails to pay any moneys due the Lottery
within 30 days after a second bill or statement is rendered to the agent or
distributor, such amount shall be deemed seriously delinquent and may be
referred by the Department to a collection agency or credit bureau for
collection. Any contract entered into by the Department for the collection of
seriously delinquent accounts with a collection agency or credit bureau may be
satisfied by a commercially reasonable percentage of the delinquent account
recouped, which shall be negotiated by the Department in accordance with
commercially accepted standards. Any costs incurred by the Department or
others authorized to act in its behalf in collecting such delinquencies may be
assessed against the agent or distributor and included as a part of the
delinquent account.
In case of failure of an agent or distributor to pay a seriously delinquent
amount, or any portion thereof, including interest, penalty and costs,
the Department may issue a Notice of Assessment. In determining amounts
shown on the Notice of Assessment, the Department shall utilize the
financial information available from its records. Such Notice of
Assessment shall be prima facie correct and shall be prima facie evidence
of delinquent sums due under this Section at any hearing before the Board,
or its Hearing Officers, or at any other legal proceeding. Reproduced copies of any of the Department's records relating to an account, including, but not limited to, notices of assessment, suspension, revocation, and personal liability and any other such notice prepared in the Department's ordinary course of business and books, records, or other documents offered in the name of the Department, under certificate of the Director or any officer or employee of the Department designated in writing by the Director shall, without further proof, be admitted into evidence in any hearing before the Board or its Hearing Officers or any legal proceeding and shall be prima facie proof of the information contained therein. The Attorney General may bring suit on
behalf of the Department to collect all such delinquent amounts, or any portion
thereof, including interest, penalty and costs, due the Lottery.
Any person who accepts money that is due to the Department from the
sale of lottery tickets under this Act, but who wilfully fails to remit
such payment to the Department when due or who purports to make such payment
but wilfully fails to do so because his check or other remittance fails to
clear the bank or savings and loan association against
which it is drawn, in
addition to the amount due and in addition to any other penalty provided by
law, shall be assessed, and shall pay, a penalty equal to 5% of the deficiency
plus any costs or charges incurred by the Department in collecting such amount.
The Director may make such arrangements for any person(s), banks, savings and
loan associations or distributors, to perform such functions, activities or
services in connection with the operation of the lottery as he deems advisable
pursuant to this Act, the State Comptroller Act, or the rules and regulations of the Department,
and such functions, activities or services shall constitute lawful functions,
activities and services of such person(s), banks, savings and loan associations
or distributors.
All income arising out of any activity or purpose of the Department
shall,
pursuant to the State Finance Act, be paid into the State Treasury except as otherwise provided by the
rules and regulations of the Department and shall be covered into a special
fund to be known as the State Lottery Fund. Banks and savings and loan
associations may be compensated for services rendered based upon the activity
and amount of funds on deposit.

Sec. 21.13. Scratch-off for Alzheimer's care, support, education, and awareness.
(a) The Department shall offer a special instant scratch-off game for the benefit of Alzheimer's care, support, education, and awareness. The game shall commence on January 1, 2020 or as soon thereafter, at the discretion of the Director, as is reasonably practical, and shall be discontinued on January 1, 2025. The operation of the game shall be governed by this Act and any rules adopted by the Department. If any provision of this Section is inconsistent with any other provision of this Act, then this Section governs.
(b) The net revenue from the Alzheimer's care, support, education, and awareness scratch-off game shall be deposited into the Alzheimer's Awareness Fund.
Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, including, without limitation, net revenue from the special instant scratch-off game and from gifts, grants, and awards from any public or private entity, must be deposited into the Fund. Any interest earned on moneys in the Fund must be deposited into the Fund.
For the purposes of this subsection, "net revenue" means the total amount for which tickets have been sold less the sum of the amount paid out in the prizes and the actual administrative expenses of the Department solely related to the scratch-off game under this Section.
(c) During the time that tickets are sold for the Alzheimer's care, support, education, and awareness scratch-off game, the Department shall not unreasonably diminish the efforts devoted to marketing any other instant scratch-off lottery game.
(d) The Department may adopt any rules necessary to implement and administer the provisions of this Section.

Sec. 27.
(a) The State Treasurer may, with the consent of the Director,
contract with any person or corporation, including, without limitation,
a bank, banking house, trust company or investment banking firm, to perform
such financial functions, activities or services in connection with operation
of the lottery as the State Treasurer and the Director may prescribe.
(b) All proceeds from investments made pursuant to contracts executed by
the State Treasurer, with the consent of the Director,
to perform financial functions, activities or services in connection with
operation of the lottery, shall be deposited and held by the State Treasurer
as ex-officio custodian thereof, separate and apart from all
public money or funds of this State in a special trust fund outside the
State treasury. Such trust fund shall be known as the "Deferred Lottery
Prize Winners Trust Fund", and shall be administered by the Director.
The Director shall, at such times and in such amounts as shall be
necessary, prepare and send to the State Comptroller vouchers requesting
payment from the Deferred Lottery Prize Winners Trust Fund to deferred
prize winners, in a manner that will insure the timely
payment of such amounts owed.
This Act shall constitute an irrevocable appropriation of all amounts
necessary for that purpose, and the irrevocable and continuing authority
for and direction to the Director and the State Treasurer to
make the necessary payments out of such trust fund for that purpose.
(c) Moneys invested pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section may be
invested only in bonds, notes, certificates of indebtedness, treasury
bills, or other securities constituting direct obligations of the United
States of America and all securities or obligations the prompt payment of
principal and interest of which is guaranteed by a pledge of the full faith
and credit of the United States of America. Interest earnings on moneys in
the Deferred Lottery Prize Winners Trust Fund shall remain in such fund
and be used to pay the winners of lottery prizes deferred as to payment
until such obligations are discharged.
Proceeds from bonds purchased and interest accumulated as a result of a grand
prize multi-state game ticket that goes unclaimed will be transferred after the
termination of the relevant claim period directly from the lottery's Deferred
Lottery Prize Winners Trust Fund to each respective multi-state partner state
according to its contribution ratio.
(c-5) If a deferred lottery prize is not claimed within the claim
period established by game rule, then the securities or other instruments
purchased to fund the prize shall be liquidated and the liquidated amount
shall be transferred to the State Lottery Fund for disposition pursuant to
Section 19 of
this Act.
(c-10) The Director may use a portion of the moneys in the
Deferred
Lottery Prize Winners Trust Fund to purchase bonds
to pay a lifetime prize if the prize duration exceeds the length of available
securities. If the winner of a lifetime prize exceeds his or her life
expectancy as determined using actuarial assumptions and the securities or
moneys set aside to pay the prize have been exhausted, moneys in the State
Lottery Fund shall be used to make payments to the winner
for the duration of the winner's life.
(c-15) From time to time, the Director may
request that the State Comptroller transfer any excess moneys in the Deferred
Lottery Prize Winners Trust Fund to the State Lottery Fund.
(d) This amendatory Act of 1985 shall be construed liberally to effect
the purposes of the Illinois Lottery Law.

Sec. 29. The Department of the Lottery.
(a) Executive Order No. 2003-09 is hereby superseded by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly to the extent that Executive Order No. 2003-09 transfers the powers, duties, rights, and responsibilities of the Department of the Lottery to the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue.
(b) The Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue is hereby abolished and the Department of the Lottery is created as an independent department. On the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, all powers, duties, rights, and responsibilities of the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue shall be transferred to the Department of the Lottery.
(c) The personnel of the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue shall be transferred to the Department of the Lottery. The status and rights of such employees under the Personnel Code shall not be affected by the transfer. The rights of the employees and the State of Illinois and its agencies under the Personnel Code and applicable collective bargaining agreements or under any pension, retirement, or annuity plan shall not be affected by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly. To the extent that an employee performs duties for the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue and the Department of Revenue itself or any other division or agency within the Department of Revenue, that employee shall be transferred at the Governor's discretion.
(d) All books, records, papers, documents, property (real and personal), contracts, causes of action, and pending business pertaining to the powers, duties, rights, and responsibilities transferred by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly from the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue to the Department of the Lottery, including, but not limited to, material in electronic or magnetic format and necessary computer hardware and software, shall be transferred to the Department of the Lottery.
(e) All unexpended appropriations and balances and other funds available for use by the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue shall be transferred for use by the Department of the Lottery pursuant to the direction of the Governor. Unexpended balances so transferred shall be expended only for the purpose for which the appropriations were originally made.
(f) The powers, duties, rights, and responsibilities transferred from the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly shall be vested in and shall be exercised by the Department of the Lottery.
(g) Whenever reports or notices are now required to be made or given or papers or documents furnished or served by any person to or upon the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue in connection with any of the powers, duties, rights, and responsibilities transferred by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, the same shall be made, given, furnished, or served in the same manner to or upon the Department of the Lottery.
(h) This amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly does not affect any act done, ratified, or canceled or any right occurring or established or any action or proceeding had or commenced in an administrative, civil, or criminal cause by the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue before this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly takes effect; such actions or proceedings may be prosecuted and continued by the Department of the Lottery.
(i) Any rules of the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue, including any rules of its predecessor Department of the Lottery, that relate to its powers, duties, rights, and responsibilities and are in full force on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly shall become the rules of the recreated Department of the Lottery. This amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly does not affect the legality of any such rules in the Illinois Administrative Code.
Any proposed rules filed with the Secretary of State by the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue that are pending in the rulemaking process on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly and pertain to the powers, duties, rights, and responsibilities transferred, shall be deemed to have been filed by the Department of the Lottery. As soon as practicable hereafter, the Department of the Lottery shall revise and clarify the rules transferred to it under this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly to reflect the reorganization of powers, duties, rights, and responsibilities affected by this amendatory Act, using the procedures for recodification of rules available under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, except that existing title, part, and section numbering for the affected rules may be retained. The Department of the Lottery may propose and adopt under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act such other rules of the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue that will now be administered by the Department of the Lottery.
To the extent that, prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, the Superintendent of the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue had been empowered to prescribe rules or had other rulemaking authority jointly with the Director of the Department of Revenue with regard to the powers, duties, rights, and responsibilities of the Division of the Lottery within the Department of Revenue, such duties shall be exercised from and after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly solely by the Superintendent or Director of the Department of the Lottery.
