Summary

The law lets the Central Collection Unit and Child Support Administration send debtor information to video lottery operators, who must withhold part or all of a prize to satisfy overdue obligations. Winners have 15 days to contest the interception, after which the withheld amount is transferred to the appropriate agency. The measure creates a new revenue source for collecting debts owed to the state.
