SR19 (Sweeney / Lesniak) - Authorizes President of the Senate to take legal action concerning certain federal legislation prohibiting sports betting.

Summary:

This Senate Resolution would authorize the President of the Senate to take such legal action on behalf of the Senate as the Senate President shall deem appropriate and necessary to challenge enforcement of the federal "Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act," which establishes a selective prohibition on sports betting in the United States.
