North Carolina lawmakers next week will consider two bills to legalize online sports gambling in the state.

The bills are intended to pass in tandem. Senate Bill 688 passed a divided state Senate last year. It has been awaiting action in the House throughout the current legislative session. The House Judiciary Committee will hear the bill along with Senate Bill 38-an unrelated bill that will be gutted and amended to be an accompanying sports gambling measure-on Tuesday, Republican Rep. Jason Saine, the bill’s House sponsor, told WRAL News on Thursday.

The new legislation makes significant changes to Senate Bill 688, increasing the fees and tax rates paid by sports wagering operators in the state. Operators would pay $1 million-up from $500,000 in the original bill-to obtain a five-year license.
