(Baltimore) — The Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission (MLGCC) today published comments on the state’s sports wagering regulations that were submitted by sports wagering stakeholders and interested members of the public during a recently concluded 30-day public comment period.
The regulations (COMAR 36.10.01 through 36.10.18) were approved by the MLGCC on July 15 and by the Maryland General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Administrative, Executive and Legislative Review on Aug. 5. The regulations were published in the Maryland Register on Aug. 27 (see pages 718-781), and the required 30-day comment period ran from Aug. 27 through Sept. 27.

Stakeholders and members of the public also had the opportunity to comment on the regulations during a public meeting held Sept. 22.
