Legalization initiative finally sees some movement
It seems like there is light at the end of a tunnel for the online poker legalization proposal in the state of Iowa, which finally made some progress in the state Senate, after it had been stripped out of more general gambling legislation.
It was explained that the Ways and Means Committee didn't pass the bill because some of the legislators lacked knowledge regarding the matter, so it was separated from other gambling provisions and sent to the Senate, along with a recommendation to task the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission to draft a study and report back by December 1st 2011.
This obviously seemed acceptable to the Senate, which showed its approval in a 38 to 12 vote, allowing the bill to move forward to the House, expecting its approval.
