Sports Wagering - Wagers on Historical Horse Races - Authorization
Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill would let licensed sports‑betting facilities in Maryland accept pari‑mutuel wagers on historical horse races, but only when the bettor is physically present at the venue. Proceeds from those bets would be routed to state‑controlled funds, with a portion earmarked for education and other programs. The change would only take effect if voters approve it in a statewide referendum.
