Sports betting is alive in Kentucky’s statehouse after a legislator filed a bill on the final day for House bills to be introduced during the 2023 legislative session.

Rep. Michael Meredith (R-Oakland) filed the bill, which he said is different from last year’s legislation.

The new bill removes online poker and online fantasy sports; it focuses solely on sports wagering from past legislation.

“Over the last two or three months, we have developed a little further, working with the industry, working with the tracks, working with the horse racing commission to make sure the regulation is done correctly,” Meredith said.
