This legal document pertains to gaming negotiations and compacts between the state of Idaho and Indian tribes. The governor or his designee may represent the state in gaming negotiations, with the director of legislative services or his designee attending as an observer. The state may enter into gaming compacts with Indian tribes, provided that the compact only authorizes forms of gaming authorized by Idaho law, does not obligate the state to appropriate funds, and is shared with the legislative council at least twenty-one calendar days before signing.

This legal document authorizes Indian tribes to conduct gaming using tribal video gaming machines, subject to state-tribal gaming compacts that specifically permit their use. The tribal video gaming machines must meet certain criteria, such as being activated without a handle or lever, not dispensing coins or currency, and performing specific functions related to accepting currency, displaying game results, and maintaining operational integrity. It is important to note that these machines are not considered slot machines or electronic imitations of casino gambling under Idaho law.

This legal document governs the amendment of state-tribal gaming compacts in Idaho. It allows tribes with existing state-tribal gaming compacts to amend their compacts through a specified procedure. The amendment incorporates terms related to tribal video gaming machines, including the permission to conduct gaming using tribal video gaming machines, limitations on the number of machines, and the requirement to contribute a percentage of annual net gaming income for the support of local educational programs and schools.

This legislation establishes a state lottery in Idaho with the aim of generating revenue for the state. The lottery operations will be overseen by a director and a state lottery commission. A state lottery account will be created to deposit receipts, pay prizes and expenses, and distribute revenues for the public benefit. The legislation allows for contracting with lottery retailers and the promulgation of administrative rules and regulations. The lottery commission and director are responsible for operating the lottery with minimal public expense and staffing.

The commission shall promulgate rules and regulations specifying the terms and conditions for contracting with lottery game retailers to provide availability of tickets or shares to prospective buyers of each lottery game. A lottery game retailer contract shall not be entered into if there is substantial evidence that the prospective lottery game retailer has had a license or contract to sell lottery tickets or shares suspended or revoked in another state or jurisdiction, or has knowingly made a false statement of material fact to the lottery.

This legal document governs the selection of lottery game retailers by the director of the Idaho State Lottery. The director is responsible for selecting individuals who are best suited to serve the public convenience and promote the sale of tickets or shares. The selection process takes into account factors such as financial responsibility, accessibility of the place of business, security of the premises, integrity, reputation, sufficiency of existing retailers, and projected sales volume.

The director may terminate a contract with a lottery game retailer for such reasons of termination as shall be recited in such contract, which reasons shall include, but not be limited to, the knowing sale of tickets or shares to any person under the age of eighteen (18).
