The future of sports wagering in California remains uncertain, with a significant hearing rescheduled for June 23rd.
Residents of California will need to exercise patience as they await the outcome of legal sports betting, as the most recent hearing on SCA 6 has been postponed until June 23rd.
SCA 6, introduced by Bill Dodd, suggests a statewide referendum on sports betting. To become law, it requires a supermajority vote.
The legislation received approval from the California Senate Governmental Organization Committee on June 3rd, but was temporarily halted on June 9th due to potential budgetary implications exceeding $50,000.
Legislation that is temporarily suspended must undergo a hearing with the Appropriations Committee following the release of the state budget. This committee determines which proposals advance and which are discarded. The hearing and voting procedure is confidential.
