Affected: IC 4-30-9

Sec. 1. (a) A person must hold a valid certificate of authority issued by the commission in order to enter into a contract as a retailer of lottery products in any capacity.

(b) A certificate of authority is a revocable privilege and not a legal right. A certificate of authority issued by the commission does not entitle a person to enter into a contract to sell lottery products.

(c) No person shall sell lottery products without:

1. (1) a certificate of authority issued by the commission; and
2. (2) an executed written retailer contract between the person and the commission;

where neither has been terminated, suspended, cancelled, or revoked.

(d) Nothing in this title shall preclude the commission from:

1. (1) selling lottery products directly to the public; or
2. (2) obtaining a concession to sell lottery products on the premises of another.
