Busy Legislators Work Against UIGEA Implementation

The last several weeks have been quite busy for political challengers of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) passed late in 2006. A powerful member of the US House of Representatives signed on as a co-sponsor of Representative Barney Frank’s Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act, an updated bill to regulate and tax Internet Gambling was introduced  and two republicans criticized the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve System as they attempt to implement the UIGEA.
