Summary

The measure repeals a rule that stopped video lottery license applicants, holders, and owners from giving money to certain campaign‑finance groups. It also requires the State Lottery and Gaming Control Agency to study independent evaluators for sports‑wagering content and obligates any sports‑wagering licensee or advertiser in Maryland to contract with a licensed evaluator. The changes aim to modernize gambling regulation and increase oversight of wagering advertising.
