If passed, House Concurrent Resolution 3002 would allow North Dakotans to vote next year on whether they would like to see sports betting legalized.
The resolution, which would put the issue on the November 2024 general election ballot, was introduced by Rep. Greg Stemen, R-Fargo.
“It is important to note, passage of this resolution does not legalize sports betting,” Stemen told the House Judiciary Committee on Jan. 9. “A constitutional change is required in order to legalize sports betting, thus the rationale for a concurrent resolution to allow the people to have their say.”
HCR 3002 passed the House with a vote of 49-44, but the Senate Judiciary Committee has recommended that it not pass.
