In the state known for peaches and peanuts, gambling hasn’t always been a popular subject. That has been changing, though, as Georgia lawmakers have been testing the waters to gauge public reception. A bill is being considered to allow sports gambling in the state and a push is now on to bring horseracing and casino gambling into the mix, as well.

A bill that had sought to allow horseracing in Georgia stalled in the Senate recently, so lawmakers decided to take a different approach. Earlier this week, they decided to form a committee to study gambling in order to develop a plan that will appease both lawmakers and state residents.

Senate Resolution 367 authorizes a panel of 11 lawmakers, many of whom are in the upper echelon of Georgia’s Senate, to meet over the summer and discuss horseracing and casino gambling. The bill was authored by Senator Brandon Beach and co-authored by four other lawmakers and the committee would only be in place until December 1 of this year.

Beach has been pushing for expanded gambling in the Peach State and found a small victory earlier this year when a bill that would have allowed as many as three horseracing facilities made it past a Senate Panel. However, it died shortly after.
