11    Section 15. The Illinois Lottery Law is amended by changing
12Section 2 and by adding Section 7.18 as follows:
 
13    (20 ILCS 1605/2)  (from Ch. 120, par. 1152)
14    Sec. 2. (a) This Act is enacted to implement and establish
15within the State a lottery to be conducted by the State through
16the Department. The entire net proceeds of the Lottery are to
17be used for the support of the State's Common School Fund,
18except as provided in subsection (o) of Section 9.1 and
19Sections 21.2, 21.5, 21.6, 21.7, and 21.8. The General Assembly
20finds that it is in the public interest for the Department to
21conduct the functions of the Lottery with the assistance of a
22private manager under a management agreement overseen by the
23Department. The Department shall be accountable to the General
24Assembly and the people of the State through a comprehensive

 

 

09700HB4148sam002- 26 -LRB097 17765 AMC 69524 a

1system of regulation, audits, reports, and enduring
2operational oversight. The Department's ongoing conduct of the
3Lottery through a management agreement with a private manager
4shall act to promote and ensure the integrity, security,
5honesty, and fairness of the Lottery's operation and
6administration. It is the intent of the General Assembly that
7the Department shall conduct the Lottery with the assistance of
8a private manager under a management agreement at all times in
9a manner consistent with 18 U.S.C. 1307(a)(1), 1307(b)(1),
101953(b)(4).
11    (b) It is further the intent of the General Assembly that
12the Division of Internet Gaming of the Department shall conduct
13Internet wagering at all times in a manner consistent with the
14applicable provisions of State and federal law pursuant to
15Section 7.18 of this Law.

19    (20 ILCS 1605/7.18 new)
20    Sec. 7.18. Internet gaming; Division of Internet Gaming;
21powers.
22    (a) The General Assembly finds that the Internet has become
23an integral part of everyday life for a significant number of
24Illinois residents, not only in regards to their professional
25life, but also in regards to personal business and

 

 

09700HB4148sam002- 27 -LRB097 17765 AMC 69524 a

1communication. Internet wagering on games of chance and games
2of skill is a core form of entertainment for millions of
3individuals worldwide. In multiple jurisdictions across the
4world, Internet gaming is legal, regulated, and taxed,
5generating billions of dollars in revenue for governments.
6    The General Assembly further finds that Illinois residents
7participate in illegal on-line gambling on unregulated
8Internet websites operated by offshore operators who are not
9subject to regulation or taxation in the United States. Neither
10federal nor Illinois laws provide sufficient consumer
11protections for Illinois residents who play games of chance or
12skill on these illegal websites, nor does the State realize any
13benefits from the revenues generated by illegal on-line gaming.
14    On September 20, 2011, the United States Department of
15Justice issued an opinion reversing its previous
16interpretation of the federal Wire Act, 18 U.S.C. 1804,
17allowing states, subject to certain restrictions, to legalize
18and regulate Internet gaming and capture the revenue for the
19benefit of state governments. The Department of Justice's
20opinion was prompted in part by a request made by the
21Department pursuant to Public Act 96-34. In order to protect
22Illinois residents who wager on games of chance and skill
23through the Internet, and to capture revenues generated from
24Internet gaming, it is in the best interest of the State and
25its citizens to regulate this activity by authorizing and
26establishing a secure, responsible, fair, and legal system of

 

 

09700HB4148sam002- 28 -LRB097 17765 AMC 69524 a

1Internet gaming that complies with the United States Department
2of Justice's September 2011 opinion concerning the federal Wire
3Act. It is also in the best interest of the State to establish
4an Internet gaming platform consistent with the provisions of
5this Section to ensure that Illinois is not precluded from
6reaping the benefits of Internet gaming as contemplated by
7proposed federal legislation pending before the United States
8Senate.
9    The General Assembly additionally finds that pursuant to
10the federal Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006
11(UIEGA), 31 U.S.C. 5301, the provisions of this Section
12prescribe a lawful exemption to UIEGA and specifically
13authorize use of the Internet to place, receive, or otherwise
14knowingly transmit a bet or wager where Internet wagering
15complies with this Section and rules adopted pursuant to this
16Section.
17    (b) As used in this Section:
