It is a part of SB836 that Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Republican state Sen. Bryce Reeves signed into law. The law goes into effect on July 1.
The measure aims to prevent gambling addiction and focuses on providing resources to individuals fighting gambling addiction.
When the new law takes effect on July 1, the committee will consist of state regulators who will oversee the following gambling sectors: the lottery; casinos; sports betting; horse racing; [and] charitable gaming…
The state will also appoint representatives from each of the gambling sectors.
