Minnesota Sports Betting Bill Placed Into HF5274
May 13, 2024
During the House Ways and Means Committee hearing on May 10, the language from Rep. Stephenson’s sports betting bill (HF 2000) was placed into HF 5274, a bill that prohibits wagering on historical horse racing. The amended bill was then reported out of committee and sent to the full House of Representatives.
We expect a vote on this bill later in the week (possibly Wednesday). As of now the state’s gaming tribes are not fully aligned and there are ongoing efforts to secure their full support which will be necessary to have the bill pass.
he Minnesota Legislature is scheduled to adjourn on May 20.
