New Jersey lawmakers on Oct. 2 took up a measure that they and Gov. Chris Christie hope will finally allow the state’s casinos and racetracks to offer sports betting.

The legislation is likely to be passed by both the Assembly and Senate and signed into law by Christie. The nation’s four largest professional sports leagues and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), however, already are challenging the legislation in federal court, and the Christie administration also is taking action, even before the measure is enacted.
