Bill Summary
This bill requires the lottery commission to issue licenses to at least 3, but no more than 5, mobile sports wagering agents within 2 years of the effective date of this act, and provides that such licenses shall be valid for a period of 10 years.
AI Summary
This bill modifies New Hampshire's existing law about mobile sports wagering by requiring the lottery commission to issue between 3 and 5 mobile sports wagering licenses, with a specific mandate to issue at least 3 licenses by June 30, 2027. The licenses will be valid for 10 years, expanding the previous regulation that did not specify a minimum number of mobile sports wagering agents. Sports wagering agents will be authorized to offer different tiers of sports wagers through mobile devices or the Internet. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving the lottery commission a clear timeline to implement these new licensing requirements. This legislation appears designed to ensure a minimum level of competition and accessibility in the mobile sports wagering market while maintaining a cap on the total number of licensed operators.
