Maryland lawmakers are making another push to legalise online casinos in the state. Delegate Vanessa Atterbeary has submitted House Bill 17 (HB 17), a new piece of legislation that seeks to authorise igaming and regulate online gambling through the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission (MSLGCC).
The bill will be filled on January 8 and, if approved, will require a constitutional amendment to move forward, triggering a statewide referendum.
