SJR 109

SJR 109 - Current constitutional provisions define "professional sports team" as a team located in this state that is a member of the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association, Major League Soccer, the Women's National Basketball Association, or the National Women's Soccer League for the purposes of conducting sports wagering in this state. This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, removes members of the National Football League from such definition. JOSH NORBERG

Bill Summary · SJR 109

Legislative bill overview

SJR 109 is a joint resolution that modifies Missouri's sports wagering provisions. The bill is currently in its early legislative stages (first read) and would require approval from both chambers and potentially voter ratification given its joint resolution status. Specific amendments to current sports wagering law are not yet detailed in available records.

Why is this important

Sports wagering regulation affects state tax revenue, consumer protection standards, and the competitive landscape for licensed operators. Missouri's approach to these modifications could influence whether the state expands betting access, changes licensing requirements, or adjusts tax structures—each with direct economic consequences for the state and its residents.

Potential points of contention

  • Licensing and market structure – Whether modifications expand operator access, favor existing licensees, or change barrier-to-entry requirements
  • Tax revenue allocation – How modified provisions affect state revenue collection and distribution to education, infrastructure, or problem gambling programs
  • Consumer protection standards – Whether changes strengthen or weaken age verification, responsible gambling measures, and fraud prevention mechanisms
