Second State Treaty amending the State Treaty on Games of Chance

Amendments to the concession process for sports bets:

- Quota fixing for sports betting concessions is suspended for the
duration of the experimental phase; a selection process (§ 4b(5)) is no
longer required.

- Via a transitional regulation, starting on the entry into force
of the Second State Treaty Amendment, all applicants in the concession
process that have fulfilled the minimum requirements under the current
process will be provisionally given permission to operate.

- In addition, tasks which were previously the responsibility of
the Federal State of Hessen are, at the wish of Hessen, transferred to
another federal state.

The transitional regulation in § 29(1), sentence 3 has become obsolete and can therefore be repealed.
