Updated Vermont Lottery Rules – CVR 01-130-001.

Vermont Proposed Rule: 25P034

AGENCY: Department of Liquor and Lottery

CONCISE SUMMARY: The proposed rule change to CVR 01-130-001 updates Vermont’s Lottery regulations to align with statutory changes following the legislative consolidation of the Department of Liquor Control and the Vermont Lottery Commission into the Department of Liquor and Lottery. It replaces outdated references (e.g., “Director” to “Commissioner,” “Commission” to “Board”), expands the Commissioner’s authority, clarifies licensing eligibility, and outlines updated conditions for license suspension or revocation. The revisions introduce new definitions, streamline administrative procedures, and reinforce consumer protections—such as prohibiting prize payouts to minors and requiring conspicuous license display. These changes modernize the rules to reflect current business practices and statutory authority.
