Hawaii state Rep. Daniel Holt last week filed a legal mobile sports betting bill that provides no detail on taxes and licensing fees. The bill, which would set the legal wagering at at 18, would allow for digital betting apps but no brick-and-mortar operations in a state that currently allows no gambling and doesn’t even have a state lottery.
The bill was filed Jan. 24, the deadline for legislation to be introduced, and Friday was assigned to the House Economic and Business Development Committee. The bill is one of a handful of gambling proposals filed so far this session in the Aloha State.
