The State Court Administrator appointed pursuant to Title 4, section 15 shall periodically notify the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations, referred to in this subsection as "the bureau," of all persons who owe a monetary fine, surcharge or assessment imposed by a court to the State under this Title. Prior to paying any lottery winnings that must be paid directly by the bureau, the bureau shall determine whether the lottery winner is on the list of persons who owe a monetary fine, surcharge or assessment imposed by a court to the State under this Title. If the winner is on the list of persons who owe a monetary fine, surcharge or assessment imposed by a court, the bureau shall suspend payment of the winnings and provide notice to the winner of its intention to set off the winnings against the monetary fine, surcharge or assessment owed. The bureau shall provide the winnings due to the winner to the State Court Administrator in payment of any monetary fine, surcharge or assessment owed by the winner under this Title. The bureau shall release any remaining winnings in accordance with state law. [PL 2019, c. 304, §2 (NEW).]
