Gambling
Current law prohibits any employee in the Lottery Division of DOR (division) or the executive assistant or secretary or deputy secretary of revenue from having a direct or indirect interest in, or being employed by, any lottery vendor while serving as an employee in the division or as the executive assistant or as secretary or deputy secretary of revenue or for two years following the person's termination of service.
This bill provides that an employee in the division who terminates employment with DOR on or after the bill's effective date may be employed by a vendor at any time after his or her date of termination if DOR has entered into a contract with the vendor to perform lottery functions that were previously performed by the employee while he or she was employed in the division.
In addition, the bill provides that no employee in the division may discuss with a vendor who is attempting to obtain a major procurement contract any matter relating to the future employment of the employee with the vendor unless the discussion relates to employment with a vendor that is entering into a contract to perform the employee's services and the division administrator provides prior written consent.
Finally, the bill provides that, if a contract for a major procurement is for services that were performed by employees in the division, the contract may not be entered into unless the contract requires the vendor to offer employment to those employees in the division who performed those services and whose position was terminated.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
