New Jersey Gambling Bill Held up

Posted 1/4/11 : January 6 debate unlikely
 
The New Jersey bill seeking to legalise intrastate online gambling appears to have hit an unexpected scheduling obstacle, according to reports in the local media.
 
Driven by state senator Ray Lesniak, the bill sailed though the state senate and was due to be presented to the House of Assembly on January 6. However, it appears that the proposal has not appeared on the official schedule, meaning that it is unlikely to make an appearance before January 10.
 
No explanation was available for the delay as InfoPowa went to press.
