excerpt:

The California bill that would tax and regulate an intrastate online poker industry will not go any further in 2008.

The bill, A.B. 2026, introduced by Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, has been put on the inactive legislative file by its author at the request of Poker Voters of America, who pushed for the law.

According to Jim Tabilo, president of the PVOA, a revised bill will be introduced early 2009 with a bi-partisan group of new co-authors in the Assembly and Senate.

If passed, the bill would allow existing state poker rooms to apply for licenses to run online poker sites for citizen’s of California only.
