A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO DECRIMINALIZE THE POSSESSION OF STATE-SPONSORED LOTTERY TICKETS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Part I of Article 37 of Chapter 14 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:
"§ 14-291.1. Possession of State-sponsored lottery tickets.
The provisions of any statutes under this Part shall not apply to any person who possesses a State-sponsored lottery ticket that was lawfully purchased. This section shall not be construed to make lawful the purchase of lottery tickets outside this State for resale within this State at more than the original purchase price that would otherwise be unlawful under any other statutes."
Sec. 2. This act is effective upon ratification.
