Internet poker bills from California Assemblyman Reginald Jones-Sawyer and Senator Joe Correa were introduced by their authors in February this year, but ultimately scrapped earlier this month.

The bad actor clause would have shut PokerStars out of the market, but several tribes are already partners of the most important online poker website within the world.
“We must ensure that any ‘Bad Actor Language’ is written in order that it's applied fairly, and avoids any possible future legal challenges,” Jones-Sawyer said, in keeping with the OnlinePoker.net news website.
