Senate President Robert Stivers on Thursday said medical marijuana and gambling aren’t on the radar when lawmakers return for the final two days next week, April 13 and 14.
He said Senate leadership is meeting to look at pending bills they still want to enact in the last two days, then meet with House leadership.
Stivers indicated House Bill 606, legalizing sports wagering, is not at the top of their list for legislative action next week.
“It is not that big of a fiscal issue in our budget,” he said. “My opinion is that this would only be a multiple decimal point down in the overall receipts. If you think about a dollar, this wouldn’t even be a penny in receipts, for what it may generate. I’m kind of ambivalent towards it.”
