An effort to legalize online sports betting in Nebraska made progress Monday, with LR3CA moving out of the state legislature's General Affairs Committee.
Legislative Resolution 3CA (LR3CA) could bring sports betting apps to Nebraska, if it's approved by both the legislature and voters. The resolution still needs support on the floor of the legislature, which is far from guaranteed.
If that passes, the question of allowing online sports betting will appear in front of voters either this year or a later year. The timing is still to be determined.
Next Steps
The resolution's accompanying bill stalled in committee, however, meaning approval of the resolution would still require the legislature to craft implementation details for online sports betting. Depending on when voter approval occurs, it could take multiple years before betting apps would go live in the state, even if the resolution moves forward.
