A legislator in the state of Nevada has introduced a bill to create the Nevada Esports Commission, which will regulate esports events with prizes of more than $1000.
The bill – Senate Bill 165 – was introduced by Senator Ben Kieckhefer. It has been heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee, though the Committee has not yet taken any action.
SB165 states that hosts and participants of esports events must register with the Commission, give the Commission any necessary information, and pay a fee set out by the Commission in order to organize an event with a prize exceeding $1000.
