| By Marese O'Hagan
North Carolina’s House Judiciary Committee has passed two bills that would bring sports wagering to the state, just nine days before the legislative session ends on June 30.
The bills will now be referred to the state’s House Finance Committee and will be heard today (22 June).
The main sports wagering bill – Senate Bill 688 – had its first reading on 8 April 2021.
