Coordinating the House and Senate

The US is closer than ever to new regulations and legislation pertaining to the online casino gambling industry. The UIGEA is currently the chief piece of legislation dictating US policies and actions and there are some very obvious and key flaws within the UIGEA that prevent it from effectively governing the US’s internet gambling market. Barney Frank has taken the lead in the US with efforts to repeal the UIGEA and introduce new legislation that will legalize and regulate the US market. Congressman Frank’s efforts have been really centered in the House, and he now has the support of Senator Robert Menendez on a bill that will make its way into the Senate at the same time as Frank’s house legislation.

Menendez’s companion bill mirrors Frank’s legislation and is intended to speed up the process that will be needed to pass new online casino gambling legislation in the US. Congressman Frank is the head of these efforts and is very focused on passing through new legislation that neutralizes or repeals the UGIEA while then giving the US an enforceable and effective Act that will improve on the current international online casino gambling controversy that is focused on the US.

Menedez has not given a time-frame for the introduction of this companion bill, but the Poker Players Alliance was very enthused to report on this new bill in relation to the pending discussion on Frank’s existing bill that is up for discussion during the next Congressional session. There is a hope for the online casino gambling industry that these coordinated and strong efforts will actually affect some very real change in the US.
