Lawmakers in Connecticut will again have the issue of sports betting on the docket.
Last year’s effort to pass a bill failed, but a new bill introduced by the chairman of the House Public Safety Committee, Rep. Joe Verrengia seeks to compromise the issues that the various interests weren’t able to agree then.
Verrengia’s bill would authorize sports wagering at the two tribal casinos, Foxwoods and the Mohegan Sun, but also at off-track betting sites and some state lottery retail sites.
Both retail and online wagering would be allowed. But only operations based inside the state would be able to accept wagers.
