Michigan’s governor has signed her state’s sports betting and online gambling legislation, delivering an early Christmas present to the state’s gamblers.

On Friday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer put her Jane Hancock on the gambling expansion legislation the state’s elected representatives approved earlier this month. The bills allow the state’s commercial and tribal casino operators to offer both online and land-based sports betting, as well as online casino and poker products.

While Whitmer had previously signalled her willingness to sign the legislation, the state’s gamblers remember all too well the last-minute veto imposed on December 28, 2018 by former Gov. Rick Snyder, who waited until legislators had gone home for the holidays before rejecting the online gambling bills that legislators had approved earlier that month. But Whitmer ensured there’d be no governor grinchiness this year.

In a statement released Friday, Whitmer called the gambling expansion bills “a real bipartisan win for our state.” Whitmer added that her “top priority in signing this legislation was protecting and investing in the School Aid fund.”
