AN ACT AUTHORIZING AND PROVIDING FOR THE REGULATION OF IN-FLIGHT SPORTS WAGERING.

This bill allows airlines to offer sports betting on flights originating or terminating in Connecticut, subject to state sports wagering laws and existing tribal agreements with the Connecticut Lottery, Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, and Mohegan Tribe. It requires that all in-flight wagering comply with current regulations and mandates that 1% of all revenue generated must fund public education in the state’s rural and urban school districts. The law establishes a regulatory framework for this specific service but does not alter general sports betting eligibility. The bill directly affects airlines operating eligible flights and the public education system through dedicated funding.
