§9051.  Selection of on-line retailer; qualification and disqualification

A.  In addition to the provisions of R.S. 47:9050, no person, partnership, unincorporated association, corporation, or other business entity shall be selected as an on-line lottery retailer who:

(1)  Has been denied a license to sell instant tickets on the basis of objective criteria established by the board, or any provision of this Subtitle.

(2)  Has failed to sell sufficient instant tickets to indicate that the location of an on-line game at his outlet would be of economic benefit to him or the lottery corporation.  

B.  The applicant shall not be engaged exclusively in the sale of lottery tickets.  However, this Subsection does not preclude the corporation from contracting for the sale of lottery tickets with nonprofit, charitable organizations or units of local government in accordance with the provisions of this Subtitle.  

C.  Persons applying to become lottery retailers shall be charged a uniform application fee for each lottery outlet.  Retailers chosen to participate in on-line games shall be charged a uniform annual fee for each on-line outlet.  

D.  Any lottery retailer contract executed pursuant to this Section may, for good cause, be suspended, revoked, or terminated by the president if the retailer is found to have violated any provision of this Subtitle or objective criteria established by the board.  Review of such activities shall be in accordance with the procedures outlined in this Subtitle.  All lottery retailer contracts shall be renewable annually after issuance unless sooner cancelled or terminated.
