A Kentucky lawmaker makes another push for sports betting in the state.

Democratic Senator Julian Carroll has prefiled legislation that would allow sports wagering at any horse racing track or off-track wagering facility.  

The bill requires a majority of the revenue generated from sports betting to go to the state's ailing pension systems.  
 
Carroll filed similar bills in the past two legislative sessions, but they did not get a hearing.  
 
Meanwhile, Indiana is preparing to offer sports betting beginning Sunday. A majority of the state's casinos and off-track wagering sites have received temporary sports betting licenses.
