Add Iowa to the growing list of U.S. states who are looking at legalizing online gambling. According to the Sioux City Journal, the Iowa House will explore a plan to legalize online poker and sports gambling.

Legalizing sports betting would have to wait on changes in federal law, which forbids the practice in the U.S. except Nevada, Delaware, Oregon and Montana.

From the SCJ:

The plan, which may get a hearing in the House State Government Committee next week, may expand sports betting language approved by a Senate committee to include legalized betting on collegiate sports - except Iowa colleges, according to Rep. Brian Quirk, D-New Hampton, who is part of a seven- member bipartisan gambling working group.
