This bill requires an applicant for a facility sports wagering license to request and receive approval from the municipal officers of the municipality in which the sports wagering facility is to be physically located before the director of the Gambling Control Unit within the Department of Public Safety may issue the license. The municipal officers are required to hold a public hearing for the consideration of the request to conduct sports wagering at a physical location within that municipality before issuing a decision, which must be provided to the applicant and the director in writing. An aggrieved applicant may
43 appeal the decision of the municipal officers to the director. If the sports wagering facility
44 is to be physically located in an unincorporated place, the applicant must request and
45 receive approval from the county commissioners of the county in which the sports wagering
46 facility is to be physically located. A facility sports wagering license is valid only at the
47 facility sports wagering licensee's municipally approved physical location.
