New York Assembly committee advances athlete-harassment betting ban
New York’s Assembly Racing and Wagering Committee advanced bill A07903 after a third reading, sending it to the Senate for consideration. The proposal would bar people who threaten or harass athletes, coaches or officials from betting, with written appeals or requests to end a ban permitted; the New York State Gaming Commission would notify affected people.
The bill could make athlete-related harassment grounds for a betting ban and give the state commission a notification role.
