State Government - Lottery for Education

The Act primarily functions to combat the illegal use of cash payouts for coin- operated amusement machines (COAM). The Act codifies Governor Brian Kemp’s (R) prior executive order that created a pilot program for the redemption of noncash gift cards into law. In addition, the Act brings the Georgia Lottery Corporation’s COAM division under the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act to provide greater certainty for COAM operators in the State of Georgia.
