Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins has denied emergency rules to legalize sports gambling in Missouri sooner, stating that it does not qualify as an emergency under state law. Speaking on ‘The Mark Reardon Show,’ Hoskins emphasized that his previous opposition to sports gambling as a state senator did not influence his decision. He believes there is still ample time for the Missouri Gaming Commission to finalize the rules ahead of the December 1st deadline, as the initiative was certified last December. Although the Gaming Commission had filed rules to launch sports gambling in August, Hoskins remains committed to scrutinizing any initiative petition that comes through his office. The decision to block the emergency rules reflects Hoskins’ dedication to upholding the law and ensuring proper procedures are followed in the legalization of sports gambling in Missouri.
