Bill > LR20CA

This resolution is a proposed constitutional amendment to be submitted to Nebraska voters in November 2026 that would modify existing gambling regulations by allowing sports wagering through mobile or electronic platforms within licensed racetrack enclosures. Specifically, the amendment would permit authorized gaming operators at racetracks to accept sports wagers via mobile platforms, but only when the person placing the bet is physically located within Nebraska at the time of the wager. The proposed change builds upon existing constitutional provisions that already allow for parimutuel betting and certain licensed gambling activities. The amendment would be added to Article III, section 24 of the Nebraska Constitution, which currently regulates games of chance and lotteries. If approved by voters, this would expand the legal options for sports betting in the state, ensuring that mobile sports wagering can occur, but only when the bettor is geographically present within Nebraska's borders. The ballot will provide voters with a simple "For" or "Against" choice on this constitutional modification.
