If California has a decision whether to authorize sports betting on the ballot in November 2020, it will be voting on a full-fledged bill.

Sen. Bill Dodd tells Legal Sports Report that he and Assemblyman Adam Gray, who introduced a constitutional amendment last week to legalize California sports betting, plan to have specifics set up before the election.

In other words, Californians wouldn’t be voting merely to allow the legislature to pursue sports betting legislation in the future. They could have the opportunity to give the green light for CA sports betting to begin as soon as possible.
