加州总检察长第九次加入多州联盟：37州总检察长联署法庭之友，支持犹他州对预测市场平台Kalshi执行州赌博法
加利福尼亚州总检察长罗布·邦塔（Rob Bonta）宣布，加州已加入一个由37名州总检察长组成的两党联盟，向美国联邦第十巡回上诉法院提交法庭之友简报，支持犹他州对预测市场运营商 Kalshi 执行该州体育博彩与赌博法律的权利。该案为 KalshiEX LLC 诉 Cox 案。
联盟在简报中主张，联邦法律对各州赌博法的「优先适用」不应延伸至预测市场平台；赌博监管与保护弱势消费者历来是各州的传统职权，预测市场不得借联邦商品法律的漏洞绕开州法。这已是加州第九次加入针对 Kalshi 及同类预测市场公司的全美多州法庭之友行动。
邦塔表示：「这份简报体现了我们跨党派共同维护州监管权的承诺。预测市场不能利用联邦漏洞，绕开州的消费者保护法、体育博彩法与赌博法。我们与犹他州及各州伙伴坚定站在一起，确保联邦商品法律不被武器化，用来逃避州法、助长赌博成瘾并削弱州对合法博彩的监管。」
Kalshi 在该案中请求第十巡回法院认定，联邦《商品交易法》优先于犹他州宪法对体育投注的禁令。此前，类似简报已在第三、第四、第六与第九巡回法院的同类案件中提交，联盟亦曾支持新泽西州向美国最高法院申请调卷令。
California: Attorney General Joins 37-State Coalition for the Ninth Time to Defend State Gambling Laws Against Prediction Market Operator Kalshi
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that California has joined a bipartisan coalition of 37 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief supporting Utah's right to enforce its state sports gaming and gambling laws against prediction market operator Kalshi. The brief was filed in KalshiEX LLC v. Cox, pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
The attorneys general argue that federal preemption of state gambling laws as applied to prediction market providers is improper and detrimental to the traditional role of the states in regulating gambling and protecting vulnerable citizens. The filing marks the ninth time California has joined nationwide multistate amicus efforts targeting Kalshi and similar prediction market companies.
"This filing is representative of our bipartisan commitment to protecting state regulatory authority over illegal, unregulated gambling operations," Bonta said. "Prediction markets cannot use federal loopholes to bypass state consumer protection, sports gaming, and gambling laws. By joining this brief, we are standing firmly with Utah and our state partners to ensure that federal commodities laws are not weaponized to evade state laws, fuel gambling addiction, and undermine state regulation of legal gaming."
Kalshi's appeal asks the Tenth Circuit to find that the federal Commodity Exchange Act preempts Utah's state constitutional prohibition on sports wagering as applied to sports event contracts traded on prediction market platforms. Similar briefs have been filed in the Third, Fourth, Sixth and Ninth Circuits, and in support of New Jersey's petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court.
