Assembly Bill 167, authored by Assemblyman Reginald Jones-Sawyer, will be discussed Wednesday in the California Assembly Governmental Organization Committee starting at 1:30 p.m PST.
The legislation was referred to the committee in February of last year, and a hearing was being planned in July before Jones-Sawyer decided to cancel it. A different California online poker bill advanced out of the same legislative committee in April. It was the first time any California lawmaker had ever voted on an online poker bill, but no momentum was realized. The proposal that was voted on remained a shell bill for the rest of the year.
