Dear Thomas:
Thank you very much for your recent letter regarding House Bill 107, the Lottery

important bill, all in support. This is the first session I can remember when the subject of this
bill has been treated seriously. About time!
With kind regards, I am

RESOLUTION NO. 25-96 IN SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILL 107
(LOTTERy ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996)
DATE: MARCH 14, 1996
We have received a request from the City of Boynton Beach to adopt
a resolution in support of House Bill 107, entitled the "Lottery
Accountability Act of 1996" In summary, the bill requires the
Department of the Lottery to submit monthly reports to members of
the Legislature and to provide for monthly publication in a
newspaper of general circulation in each county of specified
financial information. It creates a study commission to examine
the benefits and disadvantages of the state lottery and to report
its findings to the Legislature.
House Bill 107 further provides that beginning with fiscal year
1996/97, and each fiscal year thereafter for 5 years through the
2000/2001 fiscal year, the amount of lottery funds that have
replaced general revenue funds for public education shall be
returned to use for educational enhancement purposes on a
percentage basis, 20% more each year, increasing to 100% in FY
2000/2001. For each fiscal year thereafter, all lottery funds are
to be used only for educational enhancement as originally intended
and not as a substitute for existing resources for public
education.
Recommend approval of Resolution No. 25-96.
