|||| LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF IDAHO ||||
Fifty-fifth Legislature Second Regular Session - 2000
IN THE SENATE
SENATE BILL NO. 1569, As Amended in the House
BY STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO LOTTERIES; AMENDING SECTION 18-4904, IDAHO CODE, TO PROVIDE THAT
3 ASSISTING OR AIDING IN ADVERTISING AN ILLEGAL LOTTERY IS A MISDEMEANOR;
4 AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
5 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
6 SECTION 1. That Section 18-4904, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
7 amended to read as follows:
8 18-4904. ASSISTING IN LOTTERY. Every person who aids or assists, either
9 by printing, writing, advertising, publishing, or otherwise, in setting up,
10 managing or drawing any lottery, or in selling or disposing of any ticket,
11 chance, or share therein, or in advertising an illegal lottery, is guilty of a
12 misdemeanor.
13 SECTION 2. An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby
14 declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
15 passage and approval.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 10277
This bill makes it clear that the criminal prohibition against
assisting on lotteries applies only to illegal lotteries.
While the state has always interpreted the statute to apply
only to illegal lotteries, if it is interpreted by the courts
to prohibit assisting, advertising, etc. in legal lotteries,
the statute would be declared void.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
