Bill Summary

General Description: This bill clarifies the definition of gambling.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Utah law to clarify the definition of gambling by explicitly including "a proposition bet," which is defined as a bet on an individual action, statistic, occurrence, or non-occurrence, in addition to lotteries. The bill also makes a minor technical correction to the definition of "internet service provider" and "online gambling" by changing "Internet" to "internet" and clarifies that the definition of gambling applies regardless of whether a device has a preview or pre-reveal feature. The changes are set to take effect on May 6, 2026.
