Lottery Proposes Amendments to Rules Governing Courier Services
Notice of Proposal regarding N.J.A.C. 17:20-6.3, 12.5 12.10, 12.16, 12.18 and 12.21
TRENTON (June 4, 2025) – The New Jersey Lottery has announced a Notice of Proposal to amend rules governing the regulation of registered courier services. The proposed amendments, filed with the New Jersey Office of Administrative Law and published in the New Jersey Register and distributed to media outlets that cover the state, are part of the Lottery Division’s continuing efforts to modernize operational requirements while maintaining the integrity and reputation of the Lottery.
The proposed amendments to N.J.A.C. 17:20- 6.3, 12.5 12.10, 12.16, 12.18 and 12.21, clarify and revise administrative and compliance requirements for Lottery couriers to align with current industry standards. These changes affect licensing, insurance, financial reporting, and the purchase and delivery of lottery tickets by couriers. The proposed rules are expected to streamline processes for couriers and enhance the Lottery’s oversight functions.
Provisions related to couriers include revisions to insurance and indemnification requirements, modified processes for financial transactions and ticket redemption, and updated audit and reporting obligations. Additionally, the amendments simplify obligations for affiliate agents, allowing separate remittances of proceeds and commissions.
The proposal would allow courier services to operate more efficiently, reduce administrative burdens while better reflecting the current technological and economic landscape.
The full text of the proposal is available in the June 2, 2025, edition of the New Jersey Register and on the Lottery’s website. Members of the public and industry stakeholders are invited to submit written comments during the 60-day comment period. To comment on a proposed rule, interested persons must submit written comments by August 1, 2025 to:
