LOTTERY POLICY
The Vermont Lottery Commission shall set policy for the
				operation of the Lottery. It will consider for action any recommendation for
				the changes in policy.
The Director shall implement the policy set by the Commission
				and recommend any changes thereto.
No Commissioner shall have any pecuniary interest in any
				License or any contract awarded by the Commission. Further, no Commissioner
				shall engage in conduct that creates a conflict of interest or the appearance
				of a conflict of interest, or that constitutes any other action or creates any
				circumstance, prohibited by the Vermont Executive Code of Ethics (Executive
				Order No. 3-53). In the event that it should appear that a Commissioner has a
				prohibited pecuniary interest or has failed to conform to the Vermont Executive
				Code of Ethics, the matter shall be discussed at a Commission meeting and a
				vote taken. Should the vote reflect that a further review is required, the
				matter would be turned over to the Director to investigate any allegations.
				After the investigation has been completed, the Director shall submit findings
				to the Commission in writing. If the Commission determines that a Commissioner
				is in violation of this section, the Commission shall forward the matter to the
				Governor for action.
