Here is the response I received back from Representative Larry Springer, 45th District:
-------------------
Thanks for the email. The bill passed last session simply brought
Washington state law into concurrence with Federal law. After the bills
passage the Federal government has now imposed penalties in excess of
our state laws. The future of online gambling appears to rest with the
Federal government since they continue to impose laws that supersede
Washington state law.

Regarding HB 1243, I have not yet read the bill but will speak with the
bill's sponsor and consider your comments before making a final
decision, should the bill make it to the floor of the House for a vote.

Thanks again, and as always please feel free to contact me anytime.

Regards,

Larry Springer

45th District State Representative

I'm not sure Larry has a solid grasp of the UIGEA. Anyone have any suggestions on how to reply to this?
