Bill > HB3154

This bill modifies criminal history background check requirements for certain licensing in Missouri. Specifically, it allows the Missouri Gaming Commission to require fingerprint submissions for individuals applying for a license to operate paid fantasy sports contests, which are defined as contests where participants pay an entry fee for a chance to win cash or prizes. It also permits the commission to require fingerprint submissions for those applying for a retail sports wagering license, which allows in-person sports betting at excursion gambling boats or designated locations within sports districts (areas around professional sports venues), and for a mobile sports wagering license, which enables online sports betting within the state. In both cases, fingerprints would be submitted to the Missouri State Highway Patrol for state and federal criminal history background checks, with the results being accessible to the commission.
