Bipartisan Support Growing

Congressman Barney Frank has been working on passing new online casino gambling legislation in the United States for more than three years now, and during that time, one of the key goals has been to gain bipartisan support for the pro-internet gambling bills in the US. Congressman’s signature bill has been a proposal that will fully legalize, regulate, and license online casinos for the US market. The bulk of the cosigners on this proposal have long been fellow democrats. In the past year however, new studies, and a big push of new research and information to the politicians has resulted in several cosponsors for the bill that are Republicans as well.

The bipartisan support for Frank’s legislation is really the key that will decide whether or not this online casino gambling legislation ever passes through Congress. There is a ton of democratic support, but the current makeup of the House and Senate means that there absolutely has to bipartisan support if there is any hope that it will pass through each. As it stands, it has been a lot of objections and setbacks in even having a first hearing for any of the online casino gambling related bills – Frank’s primary bill, as well as the other bill that deals with the taxation on a regulated internet gambling industry.

Frank’s bill was supposed to have its first Congressional hearing last week; that did not happen and there has been no set day for a new hearing. All of the setbacks, delays, and objections to Frank’s bills only serve to emphasize just how integral support from both the Democrats and the Republicans will be to ever finding passage for the bill.
