"NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1. It has long been the policy of this state to prohibit all forms and means of gambling except where carefully and specifically authorized and regulated. The legislature intends to authorize sports wagering in a limited and controlled manner. In order to accomplish this, the legislature intends that only card rooms that are currently licensed and tribal casinos be allowed to conduct sports wagering. The legislature further intends that expansion beyond this limited authorization is inappropriate.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 9.46 RCW to read as follows:

Sports wagering conducted pursuant to the gaming compact is a gambling activity authorized by this chapter.

(2) Beginning January 1, 2024, card rooms may conduct sports wagering through sports pools and online sports pools at the card room facility as provided in this chapter.

(3) The commission may issue licenses prior to January 1, 2024, to be effective on January 1, 2024. The commission may not issue a sports wagering license to any person or entity unless it was licensed and in operation as a card room as of January 1, 2020, and has established its financial stability, integrity, responsibility, good character, and honesty. No license to operate a sports pool may be issued to any person or entity that is disqualified for a license under chapter 9.46 or 67.16 RCW. The commission has the authority to charge a card room a fee for the issuance of a sports wagering license in an amount of five hundred thousand dollars for the initial issuance and, in the case of a renewal, a reasonable fee adopted by rule that is based upon the expense associated with renewal, enforcement, and programs for the prevention and treatment of problem gambling.

(4) Sports wagering conducted pursuant to the provisions of this chapter is authorized bookmaking and is not subject to civil or criminal penalties pursuant to RCW 9.46.225.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 9.46 RCW to read as follows:
