HR1174 is the first federal proposal to see the light of day since Harry Reid’s failed bill during the lame duck session in December last year. The news comes just a week after the introduction of William Horne’s intrastate bill in Nevada, and less than 48 hours after Miguel Diaz de la Portilla’s Florida bill passed out of the Senate Regulated Industries Committee.
Campbell’s bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Barney Frank, Republican Peter T King and Democrat Ed Perlmutter, will be known as the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act, and is almost identical to Frank’s HR2267 bill which passed out of committee last July.
Announced on the PPA’s website, the group provided a rundown of some of the most important measures contained in the bill. Measures include: “A thorough vetting of potential licensees and creation of a [Office of Foreign Assets Control-style (OFAC)] list of illegal operators,” plus the “mandatory implementation of technologies to protect against underage gambling using the commercial and government databases used for online banking to verify age and identity.”
