Massachusetts H434 proposes to change how lottery revenues are distributed to cities and towns.

Massachusetts H434 amends the apportionment of lottery revenues to cities and towns, aligning it with lottery sales in those areas. It defines "budgeted aid" as unrestricted aid, payments in lieu of taxes, and education aid under chapter 70. The state treasurer will distribute this budgeted aid, subject to appropriation but not allotment, in 12 equal monthly payments. The bill also clarifies that it does not prevent the distribution of other state payments to cities and towns or deductions to satisfy debts owed to the state.
