California: Amber
Present Status: Two opposing
coalitions issued letters to the Assembly
Appropriations Committee ahead of a
potential vote scheduled for 27 May. The
letter signed by nine California tribal
leaders, including Mark Macarro of the
Arkansas and Jeff Grubbe of the Agua
Pechanga
Caliente, urged Chairman Gomez to keep
Mississippi
the vehicle in the committee for now,
because “[a]lthough stakeholders have
made progress in building consensus on
Louisiana important disagreements
some issues,
remain, including eligibility for licensure
and suitability standards that instil public
trust and confidence in the integrity of
the licensees.” Another letter from the
PokerStars-led coalition, co-signed by
Robert Martin of the Morongo and Lynn
R. Valbuena of the San Manuel and
representatives of three largest card rooms
in the state, however urged passage on the
Kentucky
basis that it would create a safe regulated
environment for online poker players and
raise “hundreds of millions of dollars that
can be used for essential programs like
Tennessee

and social services.” The bill, having a
potential fiscal year impact of $150,000 or
more, was eventually moved by vote to the
Suspense File, meaning it will heard at a
hearing normally following passage of the
budget bill, to be voted on by committee
members at that stage. The Viejas Band
Band of Kumeyaay Indians, part of the
Pechanga-led coalition, subsequently
launched a radio ad campaign that raised
arguments against PokerStars’ and its
owner Amaya’
Alabama s participation in California
iPoker, also urging listeners to contact their
representatives to voice their opposition.
There are two further California Assembly
hearings on online poker scheduled for 24
June and 8 July.
