Yeah I am no legal expert so I dont know the exact timeframe. Just that once the bill "passes" there are still a number of other steps. The legislature has to meet and decide exactly *how* sports betting will look in MD. What the rules will be. What the licensing fees will be etc. I think then it goes out for public comment. Then they have an application period and select the licensees.
Just to give some more context around the timing, VIRGINIA just went through the application process where they were expecting to select 4-12 mobile operators. The application period closed Oct 31 and first bets are not expected until just before the Super Bowl.
Now if Maryland decides on brick and mortar operators - it might be less time.
