The Kansas legislature is working through a bill that could expand its sports betting landscape.
The Kansas Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs held a hearing Monday on SB 322, which would direct Gov. Laura Kelly to renegotiate gaming compacts with the state’s tribes. Commercial Kansas sports betting launched in September 2022.
The legislation would allow a Kansas gaming compact to open up sports betting beyond tribal boundaries, which could raise the question if the compacts violate the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA). Florida sports betting is on ice as courts sort out a similar issue.
