2026 Regular Session ended Apr 13, 2026 · Bill data as of Oct 11, 2026 from Open States · Maryland overview

AI outlook · Oct 11, 2026

Maryland's 2026 session ended April 13 and every tracked bill that moved was signed in April or May. The laws cover horse racing facilities and grants, electronic instant bingo machines, Baltimore raffles for sports team charities and payout intercepts for video lottery winners owing debts. Bills targeting online sweepstakes, repeal of online sports wagering and campaign contribution limits for video lottery operators died in 2025 and 2026.

What to watch: The Maryland General Assembly meets again in January 2027, when sweepstakes, prediction market and online casino proposals could be refiled. Watch the State Lottery and Gaming Control Agency for implementation of the electronic instant bingo machine law and its required report.
