Maryland HB289 allows interception of video lottery payouts to cover debts owed to the state, including restitution, child support, and other claims.
Maryland HB289 mandates that video lottery operators withhold and transfer prize payouts to the Central Collection Unit for debtors who owe the state money, including those in arrears on restitution payments, child support, and other specified debts. The video lottery operator must notify the debtor of the prize, the debt owed, and the legal requirement to intercept the prize. Debtors have the right to appeal the interception within a specified period. If no appeal is filed, the withheld prize is transferred to the Central Collection Unit.
