“We’ll just let this percolate for a little bit before we take any action on it,” North Dakota state Sen. Diane Larson, R-District 30, said Monday, Jan. 30 about Senate Bill 2358.

Larson is chairman of the state Senate Judiciary Committee, whose members include Sen. Larry Luick, R-District 25. The committee concluded its activity Monday without a formal pass or do not pass recommendation on Senate Bill 2358.

The bill, as currently written, relates to the creation of a sports betting task force including the North Dakota House majority leader, Senate majority leader, governor and attorney general and the president of the United Tribes Gaming Association, or their designees.
