In California, a public vote will be needed to change the state’s Constitution to allow sports wagering. Via Sports Business Daily, California legislators have proposed a ballot measure that would set the stage for legalized gambling on sports, with an election that could happen as soon as November 2020.
Tribal groups with casinos in California could push back aggressively. In Florida, Native American gaming interests worked with Disney to finagle an amendment to the Constitution (opposed by the Dolphins) to require a public vote for any gambling expansion — along with a 60-percent supermajority.
