(US).- Pennsylvania is not in favour of Sheldon Adelson’s plans to try and resurrect the federal Wire Act bill that would stop individual states from enacting laws to allow for online gambling. Representative Mike Sturla has launched an initiative to prevent federal interference in what he believes is a state right, letting states determine their own internet laws.

The Representative is planning to put before a resolution to the state house next week to oppose two federal bills presented by Sen. Lindsey Graham & Rep. Jason Chaffetz supporting Adelson’s quest for a ban by resurrecting and strengthening the 1961 Wire Act, which would effectively remove states from deciding their own fate towards online gambling.

Sturla says that states are able to full decide their own fate and with the backing and support of the

licensing & regulation commission can effectively control any online gambling legislation Pennsylvania feels necessary.

He points out that the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has the capability to establish an accountable & responsible regulatory structure through licensed operators to a form of gaming which is currently operating illegally with no consumer safe guards.
