This bill amends section 9-1103 of the Nebraska Racetrack Gaming Act to redefine various terms related to sports wagering. Notably, it removes the exclusion of in-state collegiate sporting events from the definition of "authorized sporting event," allowing for a broader range of events to be included. Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "sports wagering" by specifying that it does not include wagers on the performance of individual athletes in collegiate events involving in-state teams, as well as certain other restrictions on wagering related to athletes under eighteen years of age.
The bill also introduces new definitions and clarifications regarding authorized gaming operators, gaming devices, and prohibited participants in sports wagering. It aims to enhance the regulatory framework surrounding sports wagering in Nebraska while ensuring the integrity of the wagering process. The original section 9-1103 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the existing legal language to accommodate these changes.
