Indiana lawmakers advance sweepstakes casino ban with 8-0 committee vote
Indiana lawmakers advanced HB 1052 with an 8-0 committee vote, after the House had passed it 87-11, according to the report. A proposed amendment to regulate and tax sweepstakes casinos was not introduced after legislative leadership opposed the approach, leaving the bill to proceed without that alternative.
The bill’s progress could determine whether sweepstakes casino operators face prohibition or a regulated framework in Indiana.
