Here are the bills with the highest need for testimony, you can take the steps above for each of them or whichever one(s) speak to you most. But here’s the important part, we all have to get this done tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3 between 10:00AM-6:00PM. After that, we cannot submit testimony on the bills being heard on March 5.
HB1255/SB 761 Expansion of Commercial Gaming - Internet Gaming Referendum
- Do you oppose internet casinos in Maryland? Submit unfavorable testimony on this bill.
HB 1343 Internet Gaming - Authorization and Implementation
- Another internet casinos bill. You can submit the same testimony for this bill and HB1255 above.
HB 1409/SB 862 Gaming - Problem Gambling - Prevalence Study and Fund Revenue
- This bill would require sportsbooks and fantasy sports operators to contribute 1% of their proceeds to the Problem Gambling Fund to pay for problem gambling education, prevention, and treatment. Do you think that sports betting operators and fantasy sports operators should contribute to the Problem Gambling Fund? Submit favorable testimony on this bill.
Advocacy like this is one of the most meaningful ways you can
influence Maryland law and policy.
Legislators need your expertise to understand why a bill should or should not become law. Please consider taking any of the steps above to help our lawmakers understand the real-world implications of their actions.
