AB686,1,2
1An Act to create 565.32 (2m) of the statutes;
relating to: advertising of the state
2lottery.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the gaming commission and any other state agency are
prohibited from engaging in any promotional advertising of the state lottery or any
multistate lottery in which the state participates. Promotional advertising is defined
as advertising which is for the purpose of inducing persons to purchase lottery tickets
or lottery shares. But the gaming commission and other state agencies are not
prohibited from engaging in advertising that is designed to provide the public with
general information about the state lottery, the state's participation in a multistate
lottery, the location where lottery tickets and lottery shares may be purchased, the
price of lottery tickets and lottery shares and the prize structure of the lottery games.
This bill provides that the gaming commission and other state agencies may
only engage in such informational advertising by positing one or more signs at
locations at which lottery retailers sell lottery tickets or lottery shares.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
