After announcing plans to initiate a legislative effort to ban online betting in Ohio, several lawmakers have introduced a measure that aims to make sweeping changes.
On Wednesday, a group of Ohio Republican House members introduced House Bill 971, known as the “Save Ohio Sports Act.” The legislation proposes making a drastic change to Ohio’s online sports betting landscape. If passed, the bill would repeal the state’s online sports betting law, which was enacted just last year.
The introduction of this bill comes after Ohio Governor Mike DeWine expressed his concerns about the potential negative impact of online sports betting on the state. The bill is expected to face thorough discussions and debates in the Ohio House of Representatives in the coming weeks.
