(3) Retailers whose Florida Lottery contracts are terminated or inactivated prior to payment of the bonus sales commissions shall be paid the commissions earned provided said termination or inactivation was not due to noncompliance with Chapter 24, Florida Statutes, Chapter 53, Florida Administrative Code, or terms of the retailer contract.
(4) Bonus sales commissions will be considered compensation to a retailer and will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service by the Florida Lottery. The Florida Lottery reserves the right to apply a bonus sales commission earned against a retailer’s outstanding debt to the Florida Lottery, and to award the remaining balance of the bonus sales commissions, if any.
