The House has again sent bills over to the Senate that would establish an online mobile sports betting program in Mississippi.

On Tuesday, the House passed two Senate bills, with one originally having to do with the state’s coastal tidelands boundary and the other with fines for companies engaging in illegal sports betting in Mississippi. The House’s original mobile sports betting bill was embedded into both pieces of legislation in committee last week.

Both bills passed the House with a comfortable majority.

When asked about placing mobile sports betting into those bills, House Gaming Chairman Casey Eure, R-Saucier, told reporters last week he wants to continue negotiating the topic and is willing to sacrifice at least one of the Senate bills’ original intents.

“It’s a possibility (that tidelands will not get addressed this year if the Senate does not take up mobile sports betting), but the House’s position is on mobile sports betting,” Eure said. “We’re concerned about tidelands, but at this point, it’s all about negotiating.”
