This bill raises the threshold for when the state can use lottery winnings to pay off debts owed by the winner, from $599 to $1,599. Lottery winners will only have their prizes seized to cover debts like unpaid child support or taxes if they win more than $1,599, whereas previously any prize over $599 could be subject to debt setoff.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
