Indiana Senate Bill To Ban Lottery Couriers Sits As Desk Of Gov. Mike Braun
A Senate Bill has passed through the Indiana House that will ban lottery couriers from operating in the Hoosier State. However, that prohibition may not be permanent. Rather, the intent of the bill appears to be to establish that couriers aren’t legal until the state decides on a plan for online lottery sales, which may include regulated couriers.
An 82-10 vote in favor of SB94 this week now puts the bill before Gov. Mike Braun to sign into law. The bill will take effect starting July 1 and it states:
The state lottery commission shall not operate or authorize the operation of a lottery courier service. Requires the state lottery commission to adopt rules regarding the bulk purchase of lottery products.
The courier debate hasn’t been much of an issue for Indiana, as none of the established services like Jackpocket, Lotto.com and Jackpot.com operate within the state. This move appears to be more of a safeguard for future discussions on opening up online lottery in the state in the future.
