Most senators are now on record in support of legalizing sports betting in some form, but Senate President Karen Spilka on Monday would not commit to advancing a bill until she was certain of a 'consensus.'
"It honestly doesn't matter where I stand," Senate President Karen Spilka said about sports betting at a Monday press availability.
Asked Monday if she had any plans to push for a vote on the House-approved bill, Spilka said"we're working towards a consensus to bring the bill to the floor." "It honestly doesn't matter where I stand," Spilka said about sports betting."If we're able to reach a consensus, the intention is to bring it to the floor and debate it on the floor and let the senators decide."
Some senators have previously flagged problem gambling and the role of college athletics as pressure points.
