HB606 backers hope the measure begins laying the groundwork to allow sports bettors to facilitate wagers over the internet from anywhere inside the state. The House subsequently approved the amendments Tuesday through a unanimous vote. After receiving adjustments in the Senate Gaming Committee, the Senate on March 8 voted in favor of initiating an online sports betting study. The gaming chairs would co-chair the task force. The final two seats would be reserved for the House Gaming Committee chair and the Senate Gaming Committee chair. Six of the remaining positions would be occupied by state lawmakers appointed by the chairpersons of the Senate Gaming Committee and the House Gaming Committee. The task force would include the executive director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission or a designee, the Mississippi Department of Revenue commissioner or a designee, and the Mississippi Gaming and Hospitality Association executive director or a designee. HB606 would create a Mobile Sports Betting Tax Force consisting of 11 members.
