CHARLESTON, W.Va. — An amendment seeking to provide a funding stream for the Public Employees Insurance Agency was adopted into a Senate sports betting bill on Monday.

The Senate permits wagering on certain professional or collegiate sports events authorized as West Virginia Lottery sports wagering.
Sen. Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, spoke in favor of the amendment but said this alone would not fix the funding needs of PEIA.
