A Louisiana bill that would further regulate sports betting in the state has been passed to the Louisiana Senate after minor amendments from the state House.
Senate Bill 247, if signed into law, will require facilities to hold gaming licenses in order to offer sports wagering, regulate gaming license recipients and authorize wagering limitations.
