Barney Frank NEWS ALERT 30/04/2007
Barney Frank has told eGaming Review he would not put his recently announced Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act to a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives unless he knew he could win.
Congressman Frank added that he had the verbal support of a number of Representatives who voted for the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act last year.
As chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, he added that he was in control of the timing of any possible moves, including a possible debate entitled ‘Can internet gambling be regulated to protect consumers and the payments system?’.
“I control the timing of the Committee for legislation,” said Frank. “I would not schedule this for a vote unless I think the votes are there to support it. The process is: if and when I think I have the votes, I will have the votes on it.”
