House provision to allow debit‑card lottery purchases carried as conference considers funding conformity
Summary
House language to allow lottery ticket purchases by debit card was presented; the Senate had ruled a similar change out of order and the issue was carried over.
The conference committee reviewed House‑inserted provisos that would allow debit‑card transactions for lottery purchases. The House included a proviso that would permit debit cards; the Senate ruled a similar change out of order on the floor and the Senate did not adopt the House language.
Staff noted an existing Lottery Board policy would allow debit cards but not credit cards if the change were approved. The committee carried the House proviso and did not adopt a final position during the session.
The transcript lists the relevant proviso numbers in section 3 (provisos 3.6 and 3.8) and records that the conference carried both items for later consideration.
