Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
HB5168 is not anticipated to have a direct fiscal impact on the State or the Lottery Fund. The Lottery Fund is affected only after all required transfers and obligations have been satisfied; therefore, any potential effect of this bill would occur indirectly through a reduction in surplus.
While surplus functions as a mechanism to maintain a balanced budget, it is not a budgeted item. Accordingly, any reduction in surplus resulting from this legislation does not constitute a measurable fiscal impact.

Please identify any areas of vagueness, technical defects, reasons a bill would not have a fiscal impact, and/or any special issues not captured elsewhere on this form.

Current law provides that Lottery revenues are allocated to support senior citizen programs, education, tourism, and related debt service obligations. This bill authorizes the use of Lottery funds for emergency medical services-related purposes.
