Follow the Internet Gambling Hearing on May 19th!

If you’d like to follow the proceedings of the upcoming Internet gambling hearing on the Internet Gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act of 2010 (H.R. 4976), you can watch a live stream here or follow our twitter hashtag, #gamblinghearing for live updates during the hearing.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) would ensure taxes and fees are collected from online wagers placed in a regulated Internet gambling environment and would distribute this new revenue to State, Tribal and Federal governments. A significant portion of the federal government revenue would be dedicated to foster care programs.

The hearing, held by the House Ways and Means Committee, will take place on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 at 10:00 AM EST.
