Subchapter II - Sports Wagering
§ 36–621.17. Conflict with federal law

Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to authorize noncompliance with any provision of any federal law or regulation. Notwithstanding any provision in this subchapter, no sports wagering, or gambling in any form, or the operation of gambling devices shall be allowed on federal property, or portion of federal property, where such activity is prohibited by federal law or regulation or is contrary to § 1-206.02(a)(3).
(Mar. 10, 1981, D.C. Law 3-172, § 317; as added May 3, 2019, D.C. Law 22-312, § 2(e), 66 DCR 1402.)
Applicability of D.C. Law 22-312: § 7177 of D.C. Law 23-16 amended § 5(a) of D.C. Law 22-312 to repeal the delayed applicability affecting this section. Therefore the creation of this section by D.C. Law 22-312 has been implemented.
Section 7177 of the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget Support Emergency Amendment Act of 2019 (D.C. Act 23-91) amended § 5 of D.C. Law 22-312 removing the applicability restriction impacting this section. Therefore the amendment of this section by D.C. Law 22-312 has been given effect.
Applicability of D.C. Law 22-312: § 5 of D.C. Law 22-312 provided that the creation of this section by § 2(e) of D.C. Law 22-312 is subject to the inclusion of the law’s fiscal effect in an approved budget and financial plan. Therefore that amendment has not been implemented.
For temporary (90 days) creation of this section, see § 2(e) of the Sports Wagering Lottery Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2018 (D.C. Act 23-43, Apr. 15, 2019, 66 DCR 5273).
