Congressmen Propose Internet Gambling Legislation
Two congressmen proposed on Thursday the Internet Gambling Act, a piece of legislation that was last defeated two years ago but will be reintroduced to fill a blank spot in U.S. law pertaining to online gambling.
Two Virginia congressmen, Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-Virginia) and Rick Boucher (D-Virginia), said they are reintroducing the law to crack down on “the growing problem” of illegal, offshore gambling, as well as illegal gambling that crosses state lines over phone connections and the Internet.
Gambling, an activity that raises fairly visceral reactions one way or the other among Americans, was traditionally left up to individual states to legislate.
