WASHINGTON (7/21/10)--Discovery FCU President/CEO Ed Williams later today will discuss the "inappropriate and unreasonable compliance burden" that the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) imposes on credit unions during a House Financial Services Committee hearing on H.R. 2267, the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act. Williams is testifying on behalf of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), and is the only finance industry representative that will speak during the hearing.
