Sports betting could soon be legal in California.

The constitutional amendment, ACA 16, was proposed by state Senator Bill Bobb and California Assemblyman Adam Grey . In an interview with ESPN, Gray said “I know there's significant interest throughout the California sports economy… My hope would be that we can find a landing spot for sports wagering, where it could enhance all of those institutions, as well as provide revenue and a regulated market for consumers."

Gray has previously proposed similar bills, but none have moved out of committee. However, this time around could yield a different result -- last year, the Supreme Court overturned PASPA, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, which previously limited sports betting only to Nevada. Now, legal sports betting is occuring in eight states, with more likely to join soon.
