EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with

the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill authorizes the dispensing of lottery tickets and products by self-service kiosks.
   Code section 99G.3 is amended to define a “self-service kiosk” as a machine that dispenses only on-line lotto tickets, instant tickets, pull-tab tickets, or other printed lottery products, and that does not provide a visual or audio representation of lottery game play. The definition specifically provides that a self-service kiosk is not a monitor vending machine or player-activated gaming machine.
   New Code section 99G.12 authorizes the lottery authority to operate self-service kiosks in locations where lottery games and lottery products are sold so long as the kiosks are owned or leased by the authority, are located and placed in retail locations as authorized by the authority, and do not extend or arrange credit for the purchase of a lottery ticket or product. In addition, the bill permits the self-service kiosk to dispense change to a purchaser but provides that the kiosk shall not be used to dispense cash winnings for a lottery ticket or product.
   The bill takes effect upon enactment.
