The legislature finds that:

   A. lotteries have been enacted in many states and the revenues generated from
those lotteries have contributed to the benefit of the residents of those states;

   B. many New Mexicans already participate in other state lotteries and support the
establishment of a state lottery in New Mexico; and

    C. the most desirable, efficient and effective mechanism for operation of a state
lottery is an independent lottery authority organized as a business enterprise separate
from state government, without need for state revenues or resources and subject to
oversight, audit and accountability by public officials and agencies.

History: Laws 1995, ch. 155, § 2.
