A pair of Maryland sports betting bills failed to pass to the opposite chamber on Monday, the state's crossover deadline. The bills could still theoretically move forward, but their failure to move on crossover day suggests they're not a priority for legislators this session.
One bill, House Bill 1291, would mandate the state's sports betting operators have their content audited by third-party independent evaluators. The state currently has that system in place on an optional basis, but operators aren't mandated to undergo content audits.
A recent hearing for the bill featured critical questioning of its merit, and it didn't pass out of the House on Monday.
Another bill, House Bill 1087, would prohibit betting on in-state college campuses. The bill was inspired by recent national news coverage of sports gambling and aims to curtail wagering among college students.
