(a) As used in this section, "debt" means an
obligation that is evidenced by an assessment or lien issued by a state
agency, a judgment, or a final order of an administrative agency.
(b) The treasurer of state, the department of state revenue, the
department of administration, the Indiana department of transportation,
the attorney general, the department of child services, and the courts
shall identify to the commission, in the form and format prescribed by
the commission and approved by the state comptroller, a person who:
(1) owes an outstanding debt to a state agency;
(2) is on the department of state revenue's most recent tax warrant
list; or
(3) owes past due child support collected and paid to a recipient
through a court.
(c) Before the payment of a prize of more than five hundred
ninety-nine dollars ($599) to a claimant identified under subsection (b),
the commission shall deduct the amount of the obligation from the
prize money and transmit the deducted amount to the state comptroller.
The commission shall pay the balance of the prize money to the prize
winner after deduction of the obligation. If a prize winner owes
multiple obligations subject to offset under this section and the prize is
insufficient to cover all obligations, the amount of the prize shall be
applied as follows:
(1) First, to the child support obligations past due and owed by the
prize winner that are collected and paid to a recipient through a
court.
(2) Second, to judgments owed by the prize winner.
(3) Third, to tax liens owed by the prize winner.
(4) Fourth, to unsecured debts owed by the prize winner to a state
agency.
Within each of the categories described in subdivisions (1) through (4),
the amount and priority of the prize shall be applied in the manner that
the state comptroller determines to be appropriate. The commission
shall reimburse the state comptroller pursuant to an agreement under
IC 4-30-15-5 for the expenses incurred by the state comptroller in
carrying out the duties required by this section.
