Legislators in the eastern American state of Massachusetts are set to take another run at legalizing sportsbetting after failing to agree on a measure last summer due to a disagreement over the capacity to wager on collegiate sports.
According to a Monday report from a source, the Massachusetts State Senate will soon get down to considering a new sportsbetting legalization measure after this 40-seat body’s influential Ways and Means Committee approved the proposition’s language on Friday. However, unlike an analogous piece of legislation sanctioned by the Massachusetts House of Representatives in July, this latest proposal would not permit sports wagering aficionados in ‘The Bay State’ to bet on the outcome of collegiate sporting events.
