      "title": "Internet Gambling: A Sketch of Legislative Proposals in the 108th and 109th Congresses",
      "summary": "In the 109th Congress, two bills have been introduced regarding Internet gambling:  H.R. 4411 , the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2005 (Representative Leach), and\n H.R. 4777 , the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act (Representative Goodlatte). H.R.\n 4411, which was approved by voice vote by the House Committee on Financial Services\non March 15, 2006, seems to most closely track provisions set forth in two similar bills from the\n108th Congress ( H.R. 21  and  S. 627 ), as it contains both regulatory\ncontrols, criminal penalties, and civil remedies. H.R.  4411, however, moves away from\nthe approach used in these earlier bills (as introduced) to exempt Internet gambling associated with\nstate-licensed gambling businesses. Instead, the bill contains an exemption for \u201cIntrastate\nTransactions\u201d where the bet or wager is made exclusively within a state and does not violate\nstate\nor federal law. The bill also contains an exception for Indian gaming for bets or wagers made\nexclusively within or between tribal lands that do not violate tribal or federal law or an applicable\nTribal-State Compact. The other bill introduced in this Congress, H.R.  4777 (Goodlatte),\nseems most closely related to  H.R. 3215  (107th Congress, first session), introduced by\nRepresentative Goodlatte, which was reported out of the Judiciary Committee. This bill is designed\nto clarify the application of the Wire Act to Internet gambling. For a more detailed description of\nthe proposals in the 109th Congress, see  CRS Report RS22418 ,  Internet Gambling: Two\nApproaches\nin the 109th Congress , by Charles Doyle.",
