Constitutional Amendment No. 2 (Proposed by Initiative Petition)

Do you want to amend the Missouri Constitution to:

  • allow the Missouri Gaming Commission to regulate licensed sports wagering including online sports betting, gambling boats, professional sports betting districts and mobile licenses to sports betting operators;

State governmental entities estimate onetime costs of $660,000, ongoing annual costs of at least $5.2 million, and initial license fee revenue of $11.75 million.
