AN ACT CONCERNING SPORTS WAGERING ON CONNECTICUT INTERCOLLEGIATE TEAMS.
HB 5563 would allow sports betting on college athletic events featuring Connecticut intercollegiate teams, such as UConn games. It directly affects sports wagering operators and bettors by expanding legal betting options to include these specific college contests. The bill amends Connecticut’s general statutes (Chapter 229b) to explicitly permit wagering on events where one or more participants are Connecticut-based college teams. This policy change would make such betting legal within the state’s regulated sports wagering framework.
