Sen. Bill Coleman’s examination of sports betting still has not received a firm meeting date but must be heard by Oct. 31. Coleman wants to study the issue further before next session in an interim study he has filed titled, “Sports Betting, why the heck don’t we have it?”
“What I wanted to do with the interim study is get all the aspects, all the different plans that we have out there for sports betting in Oklahoma into a room at the same time so we can talk about each one of them. The pluses, the minuses and how we can move forward to become the 39th state in the United States of America to have sports betting,” Coleman said.
