While Barney Frank's bill proposing regulation of Internet gambling continues to await its day before committee, more support is materializing for the measure. This week, four new co-sponsors added their names in support of Frank's attempt to license and regulate online casinos and gambling sites.There are now fifty-eight listed co-sponsors for the proposed gaming legislation. Joining the cause are Representatives Lynn Woolsey of California, William Clay of Missouri, Adam Schiff of California, and Christopher Murphy of Connecticut.
Frank had originally said the bill would be reviewed by Easter. But his Financial Services Committee has been dealing with a much higher priority, the national economy.
The advancement to committee has since been pushed back to July, then September, and now some have commented that it is unlikely the bill will be discussed before the new year arrives.
Still, the support continues to grow among Frank's fellow Congressmen, including Republicans who have crossed the aisle in the name of individual freedoms.
A second Frank bill, postponing the implementation of rules concerning the UIGEA, would have to see quick action if it is to be effective. The UIGEA implementation is scheduled for December 1st, barely sixty days away.
