Catch Title:
Disposition of lottery proceeds.

Subject:
Disposition of lottery proceeds.

Summary/Major Elements:

Existing law provides
until June 30, 2022, the first six million dollars ($6,000,000.00) in each fiscal year of net proceeds from the sale of lottery tickets deposited with the State Treasurer shall be paid to counties, cities and towns. Net proceeds in excess of six million dollars ($6,000,000.00) shall be paid to the common school account within the permanent land fund.

This act repeals
the
requirement
that
net proceeds
in excess of six million dollars ($6,000,000.00)
be deposited in the common school a
ccount and instead provides
at least once per fiscal year, all net proceeds from the sale of lottery tickets deposited with the State Treasurer shall be paid to counties, cities and towns.

Existing law provides a computation for determining the percentage of
such net
proceeds that will be distributed to each county. The computation compares the net sales taxes collected attributable to vendors in each county to the total net sales taxes collected of vendors in all counties. This act modifies that computation and compares the sales of lottery tickets collected by
vendors
in each county to the sales of lottery tickets collected by
vendors
in all counties.
