Illinois Progress and SB2973
This week, Senator Cunningham introduced SB2973 that would correct supplier licensing language under the existing law. This is an IDEA led initiative and if enacted will result in considerable cost saving for iDEA members who are licensed sports wagering suppliers in the state.
There has been progress in the Illinois legislature on gaming. Bill Cunningham has agreed to serve as lead sponsor on an iDEA initiative in 2022, and our bill has been filed as SB2973. For more info, see the latest Lobbyist Video Update from Chris Nybo.
iDEA is working to identify a House lawmaker to also introduce our Supplier Licensing language.
We continue to have meetings with lawmakers who would like to work with us on iGaming and be champions for it in the legislature in 2022.
