Ohio Lawmakers Propose Bills to Restrict Sports Betting

Ohio legalized sports betting just three years ago, but some lawmakers now say the law went too far. Gov. Mike DeWine has said he regrets signing it, and two new bills aim to scale back sports gambling in the state.

Three Republican lawmakers in the Ohio House of Representatives — Rep. Gary Click, R-Vickery, Riordan McClain, R-Upper Sandusky and Johnathan Newman, R-Troy — are pushing new restrictions under legislation called the Save Ohio Sports Act, which they introduced at a press conference on Wednesday.

They say the proposal will "mitigate the public health crisis associated with legalized sports betting in Ohio."
