LB 63 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Redefine terms relating to sports wagering under the Nebraska Racetrack Gaming Act

Nebraska's LB 63 amends the Racetrack Gaming Act to clarify key terms related to sports wagering. It specifically redefines "authorized sporting event" to exclude in-state college sports (where Nebraska teams compete), parimutuel betting, fantasy sports, and high school events. The bill also details what "sports wagering" does not include, such as wagers on individual athletes in certain college games or athletes under 18 in professional events. These definitions directly affect racetrack operators and the State Racing and Gaming Commission by clarifying regulatory boundaries for legal sports betting. The changes focus on precise terminology without creating new betting rules or restrictions.
