AI Summary

This bill enacts the "Tennessee Sports Gaming Act," which amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to legalize and regulate sports betting in the state. It defines legal sports betting as "lawfully accepting or placing a wager on a sporting event" under the new Act. The bill also makes changes to the governance structure of the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation, which will oversee the sports betting industry. Additionally, it includes standard severability and heading provisions to ensure the legality and clarity of the new law. The bill aims to allow sports betting while avoiding the expansion of more harmful forms of gambling, such as casinos, which the governor opposes.
