S.420

Redirect Lottery Advertising for Foster Care

Introduced·3/24/25

Redirects lottery advertising funds to foster care programs in North Carolina.

The bill prohibits the Lottery Commission from spending lottery revenues on advertising and instead mandates a transfer of funds to foster care programs. Specifically, it allocates $31 million annually to the Department of Health and Human Services, with $1 million designated for gambling addiction education and treatment programs and $30 million for foster care programs. The bill also outlines restrictions on lottery advertising to ensure it is not appealing to minors and does not use misleading or deceptive information.
