House Bill 2140 was introduced to the United States House of Representatives on May 3, 2007, with the intention to "provide for a study by the National Academy of Sciences to identify the proper response of the United States to the growth of Internet gambling."
Among many other issues, the study would include:
Section 3a.(2C): " a determination of the impact of Internet gambling on minors and compulsive gamblers and the availability of regulatory and technological safeguards to prevent or mitigate these impacts;"
Full text of the bill (H.R. 2140) may be viewed here.
Thanks to Bill Ursel of the Canadian Mental Health Association, Saskatchewan, for this update.
