They want everything ready by August 1. So this will be ready for football season.


I was about to come in all Debbie Downer asking how can this be ready for the start of football when it has to go to the voters for approval in November, then I read the bill.

That’s pretty crafty of Magee and those who helped draft it.

It legalizes sports wagering across Louisiana as soon as the taxation legislation is signed into law. So really, instead of asking voters “Should sports wagering be permitted in your parish?” It’s actually “Should sports wagering continue to be permitted...?”

Magee's bill was basically a sports betting bill changed to a fantasy sports bill after Cam Henry's referendum passed.

It has nothing to do with sports betting now, and they'll pass the taxation portion of it in June.
