The PPA has reported that Representative John Campbell (R-CA) is set to introduce legislation to Congress that would license and regulate internet poker. The bill, drafted in conjunction with Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), would eliminate the 15-month blackout period and tweak other provisions of previously introduced legislation. Rep. Campbell is not a complete newcomer to this field. He introduced an amendment to Rep. Frank’s legislation last term that would, among other things, enhance protections against underage gambling. His amendment was approved by a voice vote. While this is a very early development, it is a positive development nonetheless. Get excited! Even if it is an emotional rollercoaster.
