The Commission:

• Approved the “Sports Wagering Operator Licensing Framework” set of regulations discussed at a previous Commission meeting.
• Discussed other sports wagering-related regulations, including ones that deal with:
  • Voluntary self-exclusion (approved by Commission)
  • Preventing underage sports betting (potential vote at next meeting)
  • Occupational licenses for sports wagering (potential vote at next meeting)
• Voted to accept Category 2 licenses on a rolling basis. The application deadline hasn’t changed for the other categories.

On vendors, the Commission has begun working with the various operator applicants to identify their sports wagering-related vendors as a starting point for the official intake of vendor materials. A couple other notes on vendors:

• Currently there is no due date for vendor applications
