AI Summary
This bill amends Kentucky law to redefine "sports wagering" by removing language that allowed wagers on individual athlete performance statistics, and it raises the minimum age to participate in sports wagering from 18 to 21 years old, aligning it with the age for purchasing alcoholic beverages. Additionally, the bill explicitly prohibits sports wagering licensees and service providers from offering "proposition bets," which are defined as bets not tied to the final outcome of a game, such as individual player statistics. These changes are intended to regulate the sports wagering industry in Kentucky.
