Wyoming Senate committee advances bill on local betting-site approvals
Wyoming’s Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Senate File 45, which would add city approval to the process for simulcasting permits. The proposal also sets an appeal route for existing permit holders facing renewal denials or revocations, while appeals for new applicants would be narrower; industry representatives raised concerns about local decisions limiting new entrants.
The bill could give Wyoming cities a formal role in approving locations for off-track betting and historic horse-racing sites.
