Maryland lawmakers have passed legislation to regulate handicappers of legal sports betting.
On Tuesday, Gov. Wes Moore signed Senate Bill 621 into law — a piece of legislation that requires the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission to identify and assess sports betting content produced by experts, influencers, and content partners via independent evaluators.
SB 621 — sponsored by Senators Craig J. Zucker and Shelly Hettleman — also authorizes the MLGCC and Maryland’s Sports Wagering Application Review Commission to consider amending a Class B-2 sports wagering facility license application. Under certain circumstances, the request would permit alterations to the proposed location of the facility.
SB 621 is one of several [sports betting] bills that have passed through Maryland’s legislative chambers.
