The planned Thursday hearing for the proposed federal online gaming ban has been postponed due to winter weather in the region, according to the Poker Players Alliance, a grassroots pro-poker lobbying group on Capitol Hill.
At 9:30 a.m., the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations was scheduled to discuss Rep. Jason Chaffetz’s (R-Utah) H.R. 707, which has been dubbed the “Restoration of America’s Wire Act.” That’s a law from 1961.
It would enact a prohibition on online poker nationwide.
