Bill Analysis: HR 4411
(
19 July 2006
)
On July 11, 2006, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 317-93 to pass the Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act (HR 4411). The bill is the newly combined works by Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and Jim Leach, R-Iowa. One observation from the passage of this bill is that good bill drafting was not a prerequisite to passage. The bill is a mess. It is the result of what happens when two Congressmen cannot get past their own agendas and agree on the language of a prohibition bill. Whether Internet gambling should be regulated or prohibited is a policy issue that can be debated. This bill is an abomination of the legislative process. It is everything that could be perceived as what not to do in drafting legislation. It is in short: repetitive, inconsistent, verbose, cryptic, and poorly written.
