College sports fans in New Jersey are a step closer to being able to bet on teams from their state.

A bill that would allow bets on New Jersey college teams, or teams from other states whose games are played here, advanced through a state Assembly committee on Wednesday.

Such bets are currently prohibited.

The bill would place a question on the fall ballot asking voters whether to amend the state Constitution to allow bets on New Jersey college teams, or teams from other states playing here.

It has passed the full Senate, but needs to also pass in the full Assembly before going to Gov. Phil Murphy.
