“In order to protect our students and our colleges and universities, sports wagering on high school sports and on California-based college teams must also be strictly prohibited.” —Section 2 (i) of California Initiative 19-0029, to be titled “California Sports Wagering Regulation and Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act.”

The above language has been lifted from the recent California initiative funded by a number of California tribal governments to give the people of the state the opportunity to vote on allowing sports wagering. The next step in this process is a state-wide election.
