## Text

September 30, 2025 House Bill 96 - 136th General Assembly (A) The attorney general shall provide each video lottery sales agent with access to the real time data match program described in sections 3772.37 and 3775.16 of the Revised Code for the purpose of identifying prize winners who owe amounts to the state or a political subdivision. (B) If a person is entitled to a prize award from a video lottery terminal that meets or exceeds the reportable winnings amount set by 26 U.S.C. 6041 and the person is indebted to the state for the payment of any tax, workers' compensation premium, unemployment contribution, payment in lieu of unemployment contribution, or certified claim under section 131.02 or 131.021 of the Revised Code, is indebted to a political subdivision that has a certified claim under section 131.02 of the Revised Code, owes lottery sales receipts held in trust on behalf of the state lottery commission as described in division (H)(4) of section 3770.05 of the Revised Code, or owes any charge, penalty, or interest arising from any of those debts, the video lottery sales agent shall deduct from the prize award and pay to the attorney general an amount in satisfaction of the debt and pay any remainder to that person. If the amount of the prize award is less than the amount of the debt, the entire amount of the prize award shall be deducted and paid in partial satisfaction of the debt. (C) If a person entitled to a prize award from a video lottery terminal owes more than one debt, any debt owed to the state shall be satisfied first, subject to both section 5739.33 and division (G) of section 5747.07 of the Revised Code having first priority, and subject to division (D) of this section. (D) Any debt owed under section 3770.074 of the Revised Code shall be satisfied with first priority over debts owed under this section. (E) Except as provided in section 131.021 of the Revised Code, this section applies only to debts that have become final. Last updated August 18, 2025 at 5:33 PM
