An act relating to repealing the statutes that authorize the State Lottery and sports wagering

Bill VT H0133 aims to eliminate the laws that currently allow the State of Vermont to run a lottery and offer sports betting. This means that if the bill passes, the state would no longer have the authority to operate these gambling activities. The proposal is still in the early stages, having been introduced but not yet passed.

Supporters of VT H0133 argue that repealing the state lottery and sports wagering can help reduce gambling addiction and its associated social issues. They believe this move could promote healthier lifestyles and safeguard vulnerable populations from the risks of gambling.

Critics of VT H0133 contend that repealing the lottery and sports wagering would eliminate a significant source of revenue for the state. They argue that these funds are vital for supporting education and other public services, and that the bill could lead to financial shortfalls in essential programs.
