Supporters of legalizing gambling in Georgia may have to wait until next year for the General Assembly to act.
With less than a week remaining before Crossover Day – the deadline for legislation to pass either the Georgia House or Senate to remain alive for the year – a constitutional amendment to legalize online sports betting a House member is planning to sponsor has yet to be introduced.
Meanwhile, a Senate committee voted down a second constitutional change Thursday aimed at bringing both sports betting and casinos to the Peach State, killing it for 2025.
Rejecting bids to legalize gambling in Georgia has become standard operating procedure in the General Assembly.
