Sports betting is something the Oklahoma legislature has not been able to get across the finish line for the past couple of years. However, one lawmaker is looking to keep the conversation going before next session.
State Sen. Bill Coleman (R-Ponca City) is a fan of sports betting and wants to see it become legal in the state of Oklahoma.
Attempts have been unsuccessful in making that happen so far. Several pieces of legislation saw movement early on this past legislative session but then stalled. Lawmakers said an agreement could not be met between the parties involved.
Governor Kevin Stitt was not on board with the proposed legislation and said he was left out of conversations.
