SHB 1330 - H AMD  376 Failed 4-6-91

By Representative Tate

 

     On page 176, line 9, after "Sec. 919." insert:

     "RCW 67.70.240 and 1987 c 513 s 7 are each amended to read as follows: 

     The moneys in the state lottery account shall be used only:  (1) For the payment of prizes to the holders of winning lottery tickets or shares; (2) for purposes of making deposits into the reserve account created by RCW 67.70.250 and into the lottery administrative account created by RCW 67.70.260; (3) for purposes of making deposits into the state's general fund for the exclusive benefit and use of public education; (4) ((for purposes of making deposits into the housing trust fund under the provisions of *section 7 of this 1987 act; (5))) for the purchase and promotion of lottery games and game-related services; and (((6))) (5) for the payment of agent compensation.

     The office of financial management shall require the allotment of all expenses paid from the account and shall report to the ways and means committees of the senate and house of representatives any changes in the allotments.  

 

     NEW SECTION.  Sec. 920."

 


EFFECT:  The amendment would require that all lottery funds deposited in the general fund be used for the benefit of public education.  In addition the amendment would remove language from the current law that has no effect as is noted in the code reviser's note which is printed below.

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

     *Reviser's note:  "Section 7 of this 1987 act" apparently refers to a section in a preliminary version of the act (1987 Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill No. 164) that directed unclaimed state lottery prizes to be deposited into the housing trust fund.  That section was deleted in the final bill.
