The scandal surrounding the Texas Lottery is prompting big changes in the Legislature. The Texas House passed a bill Monday morning that will transfer the lottery games to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and abolish the Lottery Commission.

The Texas House on Monday gave final approval to a bill that would preserve the state lottery, but subject it to a series of reforms. The Lottery Commission is embroiled in a series of missteps, and state officials are investigating two controversial jackpots.

Senate Bill 3070 would abolish the lottery's governing board but allow the games to continue under the authority of a different state agency.
