Senate Bill 0991, introduced in June by Senator Curtis Hertel Jr, has successfully emerged as a significant legislative development in the realm of legal compliance. After securing a resounding victory in the Senate, the bill garnered an overwhelming approval rate of 97.3%, with 36 Senators voting in favor and only one dissenting, while accommodating one excused from voting.
The bill, which was introduced on October 1, has advanced to the state’s House and is currently under review by the Committee on Regulatory Reform.
SB0991 is a legal-compliance amendment that aims to enable consumers in Michigan to engage in competition with players from other states within the US that have regulated gaming.
If the bill is passed into law, it will serve as an amendment to the Michigan Lawful Internet Gaming Act, which was signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer in December of last year.
