The two bills will now be up for consideration in the House.
In Maine, lawmakers made amendments to a sports betting bill just hours before the adjournment of the legislative session on Wednesday. The Senate will reportedly have an extended session during which to consider the amendments and vote on the bill.
Finally, a bill in New Jersey is progressing that would allow bettors to place wagers on in-state college teams and in-state college sports fixtures. Current legislation prohibits bets on games or tournaments involving New Jersey college teams or fixtures that feature teams from other states but take place in New Jersey. pgslot
