What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The bill prohibits a retailer who sold a lottery ticket, the administrator of the

state lottery, and the Department of Revenue, which administers the lottery, from

disclosing the name, address, or social security number of a lottery prize winner, if

the lottery prize winner requests confidentiality. The bill provides exceptions where

disclosure is allowed, including disclosures made to withhold taxes from the

winnings, to determine whether the winner is delinquent in tax payment or

court-ordered child support, to determine any withholding for child, spousal, or

family support, and to determine any withholding for unpaid court judgments.

Additionally, the bill exempts from the right to inspection, copying, or receipt under

public records law written records of a confidential lottery prize winner's name,

address, or social security number.
