The Poker Players Alliance addressed this topic under the headline “Selected Coverage of HR6870 Congressional Markup Hearing.” H.R. 6870, the Payment Systems Protection Act introduced by Rep. Barney Frank in 2008, would have suspended enforcement of the UIGEA implementing regulations pending clarification of what online activity was unlawful. The House Financial Services Committee approved it by a 30–19 vote, though it did not become law.
