Bill > HB05563

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 229b of Connecticut's general statutes to allow sports wagering (betting) on sporting events that involve one or more Connecticut college teams. Currently, sports betting regulations may not permit wagering on collegiate sporting events involving local teams, and this bill seeks to change that restriction. By authorizing such sports wagering, the legislation would enable residents and visitors to place legal bets on games featuring Connecticut-based collegiate athletic teams. The bill appears to be a targeted expansion of existing sports betting laws, specifically focusing on creating opportunities for betting on local college sports competitions. This change could potentially generate additional revenue for the state through sports betting taxes and provide more entertainment options for sports betting enthusiasts in Connecticut.
