New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez has introduced S.3616 the Internet Skill Game Licensing and Control Act.

This isn't the first piece of legislation proposed to regulate online poker but given the current economic situation and spiraling national debt combined with the visceral hatred for taxation, now may be the time when the congress takes a serious look at this potential source of revenue.
