Sports betting and regulating authorized to ensure it is conducted responsibly, licenses established, local restrictions prohibited, sports betting taxation provided, civil and criminal penalties provided, amateur sports grants provided, various other gambling provisions modified, and money appropriated.

This bill legalizes and regulates mobile sports betting in Minnesota by establishing a licensing system for operators, platforms, and suppliers while prohibiting local governments from restricting the activity. The state commissioner would oversee the program, setting rules for fair play, responsible gaming measures, advertising restrictions, and financial reporting to ensure transparency and prevent problem gambling. The legislation also creates a tax on sports betting revenue, provides civil and criminal penalties for violations, and allocates funds for grants to support amateur sports programs.
