Online poker close to legal in California?
The California Gambling Control/Intrastate Online Poker Legalization Act recently passed the State Assembly and has moved to the State Senate for action.
The bill would legalize intrastate online poker, meaning online poker rooms would be licensed and regulated by the state.
Poker Voters of America President Jim Tabilio said his organization was extremely pleased with the progress of the bill.
It’s never easy to move a bill through the deliberative process of the legislature,” said Tabilio. “And legalization of online poker in a state like California presents special challenges.”
Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, the author of the bill, is hopeful it will pass by this fall.
