IC 4-30-18-3: Local government authority over operation of lottery

Sec. 3. Local governmental authority concerning all matters relating to the operation of a lottery are preempted by the state, and a county, municipality, or other political subdivision of the state may not enact an ordinance relating to the operation of the lottery authorized by this article. However, this section does not prohibit a political subdivision of the state from requiring a retailer to obtain an occupational license for any business unrelated to the sale of lottery tickets.
