Oklahoma’s Proposed Sports Betting Bill Faces a Long Road Ahead for Legalization

While the bill represents a step forward for the movement to legalize sports betting in Oklahoma, it still has a long way to go before it becomes law. House Bill 1027 still needs to be reviewed by the full House Appropriations and Budget Committee, the House floor, as well as multiple Senate committees, the Senate floor, and ultimately, the governor’s desk.

It was acknowledged by Rep. Luttrell that there was still a lot of work to be done before the bill could be finalized. He told the committee that what they were witnessing at the moment would not be the final version of the bill and that before being passed into law, several modifications would be made to the bill.
