As
expected U.S. Rep. Barney Frank introduced a measure to legalize online gambling. The
proposed bill, the Internet Gambling Regulation Consumer Protection & Enforcement Act, would authorize the U.S. Treasury Department to license Web gambling companies. Frank also intends to
introduce a measure that will repeal a 2006 law, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, that bans banks and credit card companies from sending money to online gambling sites.
