QUICK MARKUP FOR BARNEY'S BILL (Update)
19 September 2008
September 16 date for Payment System Protection
Act
Congressman Barney Frank's latest legislative attempt to
bring some precision and sense to the controversial
Unlawful Internet Gambling and Enforcement Act 2006 and
its ambiguous regulations (see previous InfoPowa
reports) has been given a fast ride to a markup session
by the House Committee on Financial Services, which
Frank chairs.
His HR6870 Payment System Protection Act, which seeks to
pin the federal authorities down on key definitions such
as "illegal Internet gambling" is scheduled for markup
on Tuesday September 16, the committee announced late
Friday.
The following bills are on the schedule:
H.R. 6694, FHA Seller-Financed Downpayment Reform and
Risk-Based Pricing Authorization Act of 2008;
H.R. 6870, Payment System Protection Act;
H.R. 3019, Expand and Preserve Home Ownership Through
Counseling Act;
H.R. 6642, National Consumer Cooperative Bank Act
Amendments of 2008; and
H.R. 6871, Expedited Funds Availability Dollar Limits
Adjustment Act of 2008.
