D.C. Council Holds Sports Betting Hearing

Lawmakers for Washington D.C. held a public hearing on a potential sports betting bill and hope to move quickly on legislations. The district’s city council is considering a bill to allow sports betting, though it is unclear what type of company’s would be allowed to open sports books—including the possibility it would be done through the district’s lottery. Supporters hope to have the bill voted on before the end of the year.
