Minnesota sports betting bill gets another committee’s OK
The Minnesota House Judiciary Finance and Civil Law committee has approved HF 2000, advancing the tribal-exclusive legislation to the House Public Safety Finance and Policy committee. At the end of February, it had passed the Commerce, Finance, and Policy committee.
Introduced by representative Zack Stephenson, the bill would allow in-person sports betting at casinos run by Minnesota’s 11 Native American tribes. Each tribe would also have the option to offer online gaming.
