The Committee on Budget (Hays) recommended the following:
1 Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
2
3 Delete everything after the enacting clause
4 and insert:
5 Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subsection (9) of section
6 24.105, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
7 24.105 Powers and duties of department.—The department
8 shall:
9 (9) Adopt rules governing the establishment and operation
10 of the state lottery, including:
11 (a) The type of lottery games to be conducted, except that:
12 1. No name of an elected official shall appear on the
13 ticket or play slip of any lottery game or on any prize or on
14 any instrument used for the payment of prizes, unless such prize
15 is in the form of a state warrant.
16 2. No coins or currency shall be dispensed from any
17 electronic computer terminal or device used in any lottery game.
18 3. Other than as specifically provided in s. 24.112
19 subparagraph 4., no terminal or device may be used for any
20 lottery game which may be operated solely by the player without
21 the assistance of the retailer.
22 4. The only player-activated machine which may be utilized
23 is a machine which dispenses instant lottery game tickets
24 following the insertion of a coin or currency by a ticket
25 purchaser. To be authorized a machine must: be under the
26 supervision and within the direct line of sight of the lottery
27 retailer to ensure that the machine is monitored and only
28 operated by persons at least 18 years of age; be capable of
29 being electronically deactivated by the retailer to prohibit use
30 by persons less than 18 years of age through the use of a
31 lockout device that maintains the machine’s deactivation for a
32 period of no less than 5 minutes; and be designed to prevent its
33 use or conversion for use in any manner other than the
34 dispensing of instant lottery tickets. Authorized machines may
35 dispense change to players purchasing tickets but may not be
36 utilized for paying the holders of winning tickets of any kind.
37 At least one clerk must be on duty at the lottery retailer while
38 the machine is in operation. However, at least two clerks must
39 be on duty at any lottery location which has violated s.
40 24.1055.
41 Section 2. Paragraph (h) of subsection (2) of section
42 24.111, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
43 24.111 Vendors; disclosure and contract requirements.—
44 (2) The department shall investigate the financial
45 responsibility, security, and integrity of each vendor with
46 which it intends to negotiate a contract for major procurement.
47 Such investigation may include an investigation of the financial
48 responsibility, security, and integrity of any or all persons
49 whose names and addresses are required to be disclosed pursuant
50 to paragraph (a). Any person who submits a bid, proposal, or
51 offer as part of a major procurement must, at the time of
52 submitting such bid, proposal, or offer, provide the following:
53 (h) The department shall lease all instant ticket vending
54 machines that dispense online lottery tickets, instant lottery
55 tickets, or both online and instant lottery tickets.
56
57 The department shall not contract with any vendor who fails
58 to make the disclosures required by this subsection, and any
59 contract with a vendor who has failed to make the required
60 disclosures shall be unenforceable. Any contract with any vendor
61 who does not comply with such requirements for periodically
62 updating such disclosures during the tenure of such contract as
63 may be specified in such contract may be terminated by the
64 department. This subsection shall be construed broadly and
65 liberally to achieve the ends of full disclosure of all
66 information necessary to allow for a full and complete
67 evaluation by the department of the competence, integrity,
68 background, and character of vendors for major procurements.
69 Section 3. Subsection (15) is added to section 24.112,
70 Florida Statutes, to read:
71 24.112 Retailers of lottery tickets; authorization of
72 vending machines to dispense lottery tickets.—
73 (15) A vending machine may be used to dispense online
74 lottery tickets, instant lottery tickets, or both online and
75 instant lottery tickets.
76 (a) The vending machine must:
77 1. Dispense a lottery ticket after a purchaser inserts a
78 coin or currency in the machine.
79 2. Be capable of being electronically deactivated for a
80 period of 5 minutes or more.
81 3. Be designed to prevent its use for any purpose other
82 than dispensing a lottery ticket.
83 (b) In order to be authorized to use a vending machine to
84 dispense lottery tickets, a retailer must:
85 1. Locate the vending machine in the retailer’s direct line
86 of sight to ensure that purchases are only made by persons at
87 least 18 years of age.
88 2. Ensure that at least one employee is on duty when the
89 vending machine is available for use. However, if the retailer
90 has previously violated s. 24.1055, at least two employees must
91 be on duty when the vending machine is available for use.
92 (c) A vending machine that dispenses a lottery ticket may
93 dispense change to a purchaser but may not be used to redeem any
94 type of winning lottery ticket.
95 (d) The vending machine, or any machine or device linked to
96 the vending machine, may not include or make use of video reels
97 or mechanical reels or other video depictions of slot machine or
98 casino game themes or titles for game play. This does not
99 preclude the use of casino game themes or titles on such tickets
100 or signage or advertising displays on the machines.
101 Section 4. This act shall take effect July 1, 2012.
