A Missouri state senator has introduced a bill that would legalize sports betting in the state.

Senate Bill 44, pre-filed for the 2019 regular session by Senator Denny Hoskins, will modify existing state legislation on gambling to include sports wagering.

Previous drafts similar to the bill had not advanced in the state legislature, but this was before the Supreme Court decision that lifted a federal ban on sports betting last May.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Hoskins had estimated legal sports betting to bring in $18 million to $40 million in revenue for the state.
